The story behind the headline paints a picture of exhausted doctors closing 1 in 5 surgeries in the last 5 years! A happier note is the red devil team members lucky escape when they became entangled in mid air - - -
its the Summer Solstice today and taking this early morning pic from the top of the garden i could hear the Solstice revellers celebrating the rising of the sun at the nine ladies stone circle - - - hey ho all downhill until Christmas now!
the resident squirrel is not giving up on the new peanut feeder, i just missed its latest gymnastic attempt to gain access to it via the extra netting around the base - - -
With the not of bad weather of yesterday we completed a couple of what would normally be July maintenance jobs on the exterior of the house. The leaky gutter joint, second time this has happened, turned out to be a separation of the guttering from the joint. I cant imagine how this happens as i need to hit the end cap on the guttering to put it back into place. At the same time, using the borrowed ladders, i replaced a bit of putty which had come away from a wooden window frame above the porch roof and gave it a lick of paint.
Spurred on by this enthusiastic approach i painted the porch and front door woodwork noticing that the Southern side panel is in need of replacing, definitely a job for July. With just a little rain falling i quickly replaced a leaking gutter downpipe on the kitchen roof drainage system before abandoning the days work and watching Andy Murray's game at the Queens Club tournament follow in a similar vein a few minutes later - - -
warm stats already although the wind speed must have been a bit of a gust because stuff is hardly moving out there now.
nice looking sky on the weathercam with the weather people hedging their bets by saying there is a 5% chance of rain for most of the day
Enjoy the day
