I decided to get some watered down PVA on the hedge this morning and it’s still soggy.

Well after the fourth day. Of training in a row I am absolutely buggered, but needs must.

As you can see, I went for the vegetation option for filling the gap. This is done with my home made clump foliage that I made ages ago.

The remainder of my home made stuff compared to the bought stuff. I will let you work out which was the cheapest. Even the bought stuff is ancient. The stuff in the jar is about a quarter of the lump of foam I bought.

As this looks a bit old fashioned it reminded me of the bronze age… Don’t know why but this made me chuckle ..

Literally!

Went for a tinkle earlier and as I flushed the loo. I know we are having high tides, but 3 miles from the sea… Went to investigate….

Lots of backed up ‘material’ in the septic tank header….after swearing and fighting with a hundred metre pipe I got it going again… It was a bugger it happened, but at least it wasn’t pissing it down!

My arms ache so I shall give building stuff a miss this evening.

A couple of people asked what was woven between the uprights…. Voila….

There was one missing so I got a quid off. I must have had it in my cupboard for over a year.

I am still toying with the idea of putting a bit of vegetation in the gap. I was actually just heading off to see what clump foliage I had knocking around.

Quite a nice view from the top of the hill. So I stopped and got a shit if it on my phone.

With a couple of weeks left to go before my course I thought I had better crack on with something else.

So I got thinking about a little fenced area. I will do a couple and then a walled one. The first is a wattle one, second will be fence posts and rails and as I said some kind of walled thing.

Here is my start,  the more astute of you may be wondering why there is a ruler at one end and a bloody big weight at the other…. One word…Warping.

I actually used Copydex instead of PVA or Mod Podge. The base itself is pretty thick and it still bloody tried warping… swearing occurred.

So basically it is sitting there until tomorrow on case that helps.

#annoyed!

Anyway these are just full length at the minute.  They will be cut down to between 15 and 20mm depending on what looks right.

Had a long day of training today so not up to much this evening… actually surprised I didn’t have a little snooze.

So the weather is rolling back on with wind and rain expected. Flooding is also expected due to higher tides. A bit of an iconic photo from Last Week’s Apocalyptic rain…

In case you aren’t sure, that’s inside the building!

That’s the undercoat and grey on this. Colours tomorrow methinks.

Also started trying to read rules again..

It was hard work, but after a snooze I came back to them.

I deliberately started with the Starter set as the rules are quite concise.
