    Skip filled, tip visited. Been down pub and about to go out again for more beer and food. As we're in Redcar this could be quite risky :)

    Morning bumders

    Collected new bike yesterday. Today will involve riding new bike in peaks hopefully and probably getting wet.

    So, got the pigs home, they proceeded to bust through the electric fencing, broke though the poor perimeter fence and farked off into the local woods.
    Managed to catch one and her accomplice followed her back to the sty, where they will remain until the fencing gets a sorting.
    I looked like Edward Scissor hands had had a go at my legs where i was trawling through the brambles after them!

    Early bacon sandwich time?

    Now back down South after an extended run home over the moors in the p1ssing rain. House up North getting quite well cleared now. Next up - the jungle that is the back garden - may need to nuke it.

    Got some pigs that are great for ground clearance if you can keep them in the garden long enough.

    Can I eat them once I've finished with them?

    Only if you can find, then catch them.

    Evening bumders

    Today was my birthday so was spent riding bikes with a little bit of a hangover up in the Peak District, like yesterday, and the day before. Good few days that.

    This evening shall involve beer shortly, although it will be spent at home as I have a little keg of ale and no inclination to go out and be sociable.

    Happy birthday Birdie 8)

    Long hard day for me at work including pedalling to and from. A good doss is needed this evening to compensate. I'm also feeling mildly antisocial and wondering whether I can be arsed to go out after work this week.

    Happy birthday Bird, hope you enjoyed it. Busy day at work today and spent the evening trying to sort the lad out with a few bits and pieces. Stuff to do tomorrow still , going for a big lunch amongst all the other chaos.
    Hope your pig fence holds up bg otherwise you'll be walking with pigs again.

    Afternoon d1cks,

    Have let the piggies out into their reduced size enclosure and fed em a load of acorns, they seem happy but escape is foremost in their thoughts.

    Afternoon muck spreaders and pig herders.
    Funny old day today, got the day off as the lad leaves hot his travels so airport run shortly. Been to see a few people for him to do his farewells and then had a big lunch. Now home and getting the last bits into his bag. Once he's gone the food bill will halve and my beer won't get stolen.

    Busy day at work and only just finished doing stuff at home that Strifey should have done herself, the lazy cow. Onwards to Wednesday?

    Morning lickers of the rim,

    Looks a nice day here so outdoors based working and pig sitting are on the cards.

    Not really kicked in yet. The most noticeable things will be the dramatic reduction in washing and food consumption. Going from 4 people to 3 should halve both of those. Makes no sense. It will be weird not having him around. Hopefully now that he's gone we'll be able to give the girl a bit more attention which might help in that respect.
    today being Wednesday I will of course be going to the pub. Just got to get through the day without killing anyone. My favourite one so far has been someone complaining about the quality of a part. First issue is that he didn't buy it from us, second issue is the part isn't faulty anyway, there is something else broken and I can prove it if he'd listen. Why do I bother? This would be so much easier without customers.

    Evening Mongs,

    Second day pedalling this week so I'm properly shagged out. Took the hound out for a walk this evening and he proceeded to take a massive dump on somebodys front lawn. Managed to retrieve it before anyone noticed :) That was the highlight of my day after working my nuts off at the office...

    Happy damned Thursday fudge packers,
    The traditional Thursday hangover is present and correct, it's a little bit windy too. Hoping today goes better than yesterday, pesky bloody customers being a nuisance. Had a call from the lad last night, he had arrived in NZ and was sat outside the airport waiting for a bus. He managed to avoid the rubber glove treatment throughout.

    Did you tell him he'd called a wrong number?

    Afternoon internet trolls,

    Pigs are thriving, cider is fermenting and the sun is out.

    In bad news I've got spuds to dig up!

    Afternoon nobheads,

    Been chopping stuff down and I'm about to go and produce some more apple juice that will hopefully end up as cider.
