Fencing with the storms

 Well, the last two years of really bad storms have taken their toll on my fence.

It really was held up by two pieces of string I the end. One to my back door and the other to a tree.

The back fence gets such a hammering because it's a row of gardens with no buildings to really block the wind. I used to look out at it during the storms and watch it ripple in waves down its length, wondering if this would be the storm to bring it down (or blow it away more likely).

It really needed replacing.

And  needed something strong.

I needed concrete polls.

I also needed plenty of cash.

Two guys were in the team, quickly taking the fence down...

And then putting the new one up.

They did a pretty good job, and worked pretty much non-stop all day (until I popped out and brought them back a sausage bap from down the road).

Very pleased with the end result.

I told them not only did it look storm proof but should also keep any zombies out, you know, if a Zombie holocaust should happen.

Going Back To The Future once again with Lego

 Well, I was progressing pretty well...

It's starting to look like the DeLorean from the films.

And then what I had dreaded, happened.

A piece was missing.

Luckily it's a pretty common piece, but I've long since passed on all my old Lego.

Ebay will save me, I thought.

And it did.

I just need to wait now.

And 'Yes, I searched all of the other bags in case it had been put in the wrong one'.

With this in mind I ordered 4 just in case it's needed later as well.

Now I just need to wait for the mail.
