Cannot be commented in other way than this!
sadly no Mags .... he's quietly wasting away
my body is extremely annoying at times ... 'suppose I should be grateful - and I am - but it just doesn't do what it used to and it's frustrating
Unloaded bucket no 7 today .... just about creased me .... been bloody warm here all day
then proceeded to fill no 8 .....

down as far as the pipes which were originally just lying in a trench ---- 'bout 5 years ago and which had mysteriously back filled itself

then came at 'em from the other end taking the top off in scrapes, which went well 'til I found the duct about 6" higher than the rest , which wasn't helpful to its survival .
... water pipes did though as one of 'em is 'live' and cut the bloody duct off out the way ....
like wrestling giant spaghetti with that roll of 80mm duct .... and has gone quite brittle

ran out of room in the 7 footer for the last little bit .... should've grabbed the 3 foot Geith and filled that ..... but didn't think of it, at the time.
last lil' bit was a hand job to clear around the far end, which i did after tea .
... and dropped the plumbing into spot after clearing all around it to get it low enough ..... bloody ground was hard !!

shit pic .... light was starting to go
got a joiner somewhere for the ducting ... otherwise, if I can't find it .. according to my vernier, down pipe is gonna make a decent fitting joint
need some stone next, after i've gotten that last bit of spoil out the trench ...... and emptied bucket no 8
one to make you smile ....... we can never make the bed here in the mornings ..... 'til these lil' buggers vacate it, around lunchtime
