Journal - February
Friday - 1st Feb
High tide - due to the gale force winds the high tide came over the sea wall at Liverpool. People getting off the floating landing stage from the river ferry got wet feet. Sorry I didn't have a camera with me.
A gutter has now been fitted to my porch.
Saturday - 2nd Feb
I did some more overtime at work. Hopefully this is the last overtime I will need to do for a while.
Sunday - 3rd Feb
The end of the Swedish rally. I was amazed how fast rally drivers go when driving on snow and ice. I don't think I would have enjoyed being a passenger.
Monday - 4th Feb
On the way to work I was sitting in my car at traffic lights minding my own business. The driver of the car transporter in front of me apparently forgot to apply their parking brake. I check my interior mirror and noticed another large lorry parked behind me. The car transporter in front was now getting quite close and I couldn't reverse out of the way! I didn't fancy getting my car squashed between two lorry so I sounded my horn until they stopped getting closer. Not a good experience for my blood pressure.
Tuesday - 5th Feb
Wednesday - 6th Feb
Fenced in! On the way to work I was overtaking a lorry when it started to lose its load of fencing. Not a fun experience. Still all is well that ends well and as I wasn't injured and my was wasn't damaged I guess that is a happy ending.

Napalm. The final episode of the current series of "Robot Wars" saw robot Napalm burnt and thrown out of the arena. Hypno disk took on what appeared to be an inferior German robot, but in a surprise upset hypno disk was immobilised and lost. Razor (with the crushing arm) won the all stars championship.
A down pipe has now been fitted to my porch and the lead flashing on the roof has been completed.
Saturday - 9th Feb
In the morning I did some gardening. All the rain as left my garden rather damp.
In the afternoon my Dad came round to connect the down spout from my porch to the land drains. We both did quite a bit of digging in the mud. Once the trench was about 30cm deep it started to fill with water. We quickly completing the drains and filled the hole up again and put the paving stones back in position.
Sunday - 10th Feb
I looked in my garden shed. Last year I had an active wasps nest in there so I was careful where I touched. I couldn't find the nest without taking my gardening things out of the shed and as it was raining I didn't fancy that idea.
Finally I updated my journal. I didn't realise I was two weeks behind!

Shopping after a days work is no fun, but as the cupboards were getting empty I didn't have much choice.
