Home improvements

Today we celebrated what should have been celebrated yesterday, 8 years at Rock HQ, which have passed all to quickly bit certainly not without event. Jobs have been lost, won, lost again, tribunals won, businesses set up and flurished, two new humans have arrived, countless birds have been fed to foxes, cows have entertained us near and now far (as Hetty still creates havoc over the hills and far away) our flockers have expanded and now contracted, the no horse rule has been broken and now there are equines owned by us on three seperate farms, buildings have been put up, concrete laid, gardens destroyed by goats and bernese Mountain Dogs, numerous pigs have filled Mr Whirlpool, Techno has left us (not because of my cooking but because of flushing toilets and central heating) and after all that attention has finally turned to home improvements. Today the window/conservatory project has concluded, our wooden windows have been replaced by dayglo white non maintenance working double glazed efforts guaranteed to last loner than yours truly. Plans are now afoot to expand the living area now the living area we have is more habitable.
Havoc was caused in the cottage tonight by the unexpected arrival of a large amphibian sat on my trainer. Froggy hitched a ride as I walked back inside from the Zombie infested darkness, thankfully the torrential rain kept them away, and when we (me and frog, not zombie) got indoors felt that a quick bounce around the room with a detour under the sofa was the order of the day. Comments raised varied from arrrr to high pitched screams when froggy jumped at householders. Finally the rampaging beast was cornered, caught and released back to the zombies.
