Where did...

...  that weekend go??   It has absolutely flown past, and was it productive?.. read on....

 

The day started well,  All six hens produced lovely eggs today and some really big ones too, so bacon and egg rolls for breakfast energy food before the work began.   Then an offer from the Portuguese Housekeeper to help at the Lottie today - so 1 person becomes 3 people and the promise of achieving lots.

 

My Girl and I went to pick up some more paving slabs we managed 11 in the car this time,   collected the Portuguese Housekeeper and began unloading the slabs,  2 at a time in a wheelbarrow and 2 at a time in a shopping trolley we were loaned,  with just 4 more to be go,  the wheelbarrow with one of the paving slabs in toppled over - right on the top of My Girl's foot - my goodness did she howl!!!!!!!!!!  And my goodness did it swell and swell and swell!!

 

So the next 4.5 hours were spent in A&E...  fortunately nothing is broken (I am really surprised, its twice the size of the other one!)  with a nasty cut on the top, so a tetunus jab and some dressing,  home with a pair of crutches and the weekend is finished.

So what did we get done this weekend..
