Tyred

By | January 7, 2012

I had a puncture over Christmas which was a real pain as I found out my car only has a space saver tyre and not a full size replacement.

Fun was had when it turned out the replacement cost £100! Why can they not make full sized spares, and why do replacements cost so much!

I only drove on the space saver for a day, but wondered why they were no good for longer? I have seen people doing 80 down the motorway on these before.

This last weekend I spent an age digging out a very large boulder from the garden. It was about two feet wide and three feet long and weighed 10kg in the end. It took two of us to get it out of the ground and into the back of the car, the same at the tip.

I wasn’t overly impressed at the tip when told that it had to be put into the skip and not just dumped on the floor in the rubble section. I may be fit, but not to that extent. Eventually I managed to persuade someone to help and it went in.

Unfortunately after digging it out, I found another large slab of concrete another 10cms down. I decided not to bother with that at present as I had had enough of digging and my back hurt.

Pictures next time, but I was so knackered I forgot this time. Sorry.

Digging

By | November 14, 2011

I’ve been digging again, this time in the front garden. I got down to the about a foot and a half when I found the largest bit of rock. I dug and dug to try and find the edge, but gave up in the end as I just couldn’t find it at all!

What it is I don’t know, maybe I will have another go when I have more time. Still, at least I have turned the soil.
