As the weather forecasters have predicted the end of the world sometime around tomorrow tea time we thought it best to make the most of the sunshine and play outside all day. Its also the Kington festival of walking so we were prepared for a lot of of alpine clad lardys walking through the yard.
I did think that most of the day could be best spent in trivial pursuits such as playing fetch
but Chester had other ideas and as he was late getting breakfast decided to remind me of the temporary "repair" to his stable door. Luckily my "expertise" with the saw has improved over time and pretty soon (time is a concept) I had a serviceable door fitted, that was dog proof, well almost
as demonstrated by Spotty, nice shot of the amateur joinery,
it was however horse proof.
I then engaged in a spot of fishing, little t came to watch his father's prowess
angling for pork. This is a bit like fishing, a bait is placed and you wait patiently. In this case the bait was pig feed and the quarry, well, pig obviously. So there I was inside the pig pen watching the bait, and there they were, escaped pig on the outside also looking at same. Eventually one wandered within lunging distance and sooner that you could say "jeezthispigweighsatonohgodmyback" pig one was caught and landed the right side of the pig fence. The other one, pictured above, grew wise to the plan and soon after this pic was taken buggered off. This allowed me to retreat with dignity and raid the medicine chest for ibuprofen.
