Monday, Monday!

 Hi Woofers!

Us again, Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here!

What a super day it's been. After the morning walk it has been sunshine all day.

Old Two Legs finished off the front drive, picking all the plants out from between the bricks and scraping the ivy off the walls.

Once that job was done it was the turn of the pond.

The pond is lined with a waterproof lining but for some reason the lining has sort of shrunk a bit and in one place the water sort of leaks out and under the rocks.

Today OTL did his best to block up the holes and pack earth into the holes that were leaking water.

So far there has been a small dribble of water but tomorrow OTL will pack more earth, mixed with grass into the back of the rocks and with a bit of luck, bung up the leaks!

On top of the rocks and the earth packed in together he will put some reeds to help soak up any excess of water.

Needless to say, poor OTL is feeling the strain and is complaining that his muscles are hurting!

Today we took the big car to the paint shop to get some repairs done on the rear bumper. With luck the damage is slight and when it is done, we plan to take the car to the auctioneers and sell it off.

As the caravan has now gone, we don't need a big car so the plan is to get an estate car big enough to go on holiday with the ferrets, TM and OTL and of course me!

OTL reckons to fit a roof box to take clothes and a small pack of craft stuff for TM!

Mind you, what TM calls 'small' and what OTL considers small are two totally different sizes!

We should get the big car back on Wednesday so I'll be riding in the back for possibly the last time!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.

 

F1 and all that!

 Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here.

In the ferret cages Old Two Legs has found that instead of using cat litter or stuff like that, he has found that paper kitchen sheets work just as well and are easier to scoop up all the poo. That is providing Eric doesn't scruff it all up and then does a poo half way up the cage wall.

Sometimes I think he does it on purpose just to wind OTL up!

Anyway, in his search for economically priced paper towels he ended up getting 48 towels from Amazon which he thought of as a good price.

That was until this morning.

The Tesco man delivered the shopping this weekend and looking at the roll of paper towel, it looked bigger in diameter that the ones OTL buys, same manufacturer, same packaging, except.

OTL pack says there is 210 sheets in the pack whereas the Tesco says there is 100 sheets in theirs.

Well, out comes the calculator and OTL works out that the Amazon sheet is priced at 0.0297 each and the Tesco pack is priced at 0.0137 per sheet, and that is without the 'Clubcard' special price!

That is just over double the price of Tesco!

I think I know what OTL is going to do the next time he is going to get some kitchen towels for the ferret cage!

Just for a change, the sun has come out and the wind has dropped. In fact, it was most enjoyable wandering over the fields and sniffing around the bee hives that have appeared this year. 

Being a Sunday, OTL has been out clearing the weeds out of the brick drive and sweeping up all the moss that has been washed down from the roof. 

He has even pulled the ivy off the wall in the back garden, actually, it is next doors ivy that is holding up the fence rather than the fence holding up the ivy but it's been like that for thirty years!

There is some ivy left on the wall and I reckon he will finish that off tomorrow.

The F1 racing was just a little boring, why? Well, what is the point of having a race that is decided in 'Qualifying' because there is little or no chance of overtaking on the track, so, you are hoping for a 'Red Flag' or to get in and out of a pit stop quicker than the car in front of you can get around the track before you can get out of the pits.

Seems you win or lose outside the race!

Monza next week and with a bit of luck it will have some racing and overtaking!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
