Off this week catching up with my jobs

Hi
I have been off work this week catching up with jobs around the house and workshop.
The garden is water logged from all the rain as soon as the water company banned hose pipes it has rain most days since.
So I have not been able to do any gardening and as its cold and frosty some mornings I will wait before I set any plants out.

I went down the Ponds on Saturday its clay ground the water just stood on the parts that were low and the water level is back to the normal winter heights and the dyke's are full it makes a change as the environment agency normally let the water out to sea as soon as it rains.

I have been putting together a woodworking bench this week I have painted it and altered the base so I can have a shelf under it to put boxes under out of the way.

Barbara took the dogs out this morning as it was fine but I have been taking them down the river and its me who has to wash whisper when we get back he is covered in mud Toffee has been in the river swimming but whisper hates water he keeps well clear.

I heard my first cuckoo yesterday morning He is late this year normally March / April.
