Fenced In

Phew, after a load of huffing and puffing we've managed to secure a 4m cane fence along the garden. The previous owner of the house next door tore all the mature bushes and plants out, taking half the fence with them, so we've been left with flapping fence panels or none at all and a tacky view of a white plastic shed. Seeing as the house has now been sold on and is being rented there's little or no chance the new owner will replace the fence so we botched something up ourselves. It's really quite good. The canes are tall and make the side look tidy, there's space between the canes so the wind can get through and it doesn't stop the light too much. So, for a reasonable price we've got a wind-break and a bit more privacy. It also stops the boys' washing blowing over into our garden too. Result! It's not perfect, but much better.




It's been a busy week. Went to the theatre twice. At the first show (12 Angry Men) some people behind us talked and sniggered all the way through, even though the play was a serious piece. We told them off at the end, which was fun. Then we went for tapas and wine which was even more fun. Super duper. Next night was King Lear. Gawd, what a bore. I left at half time as I couldn't hear what they were saying properly and even when I did I couldn't make out what was going on. Last night was dog-sitting for friends round their house and today I've just been chilling out, visiting mum and eating.
