I had an old stump in my garden once and apparently it gave me honey fungus

Honey fungus is a nightmare and impossible to eradicate once in the ground, in commercial plantations urea (from pigs) is used, as soon as a tree is felled the urea is poured on the stump which then kills any spores that land on the new cut. Peeing on stumps yourself has the same effect.

I don't think the neighbours will be too impressed if I do that!  

Anyway I've now been told by the wife its not a planty thing, it is a wisteria???

get a mattock to its roots, theyre quite fiberous so should come out easy. dont use chemicals. dont use chemicals. dont use chemicals. the goodness of the soil will be killed too and then nowt will grow. obvious really, but youd be amazed at how few people realise that.

Was drinking here on Friday. Pretty innit?

Where's that, Czarcy? Also was it actually snowy or is that an old piccy?

Little place called Sindlesham in Berkshire. Na it wasn't snowing - but that was a nice google image I found of the place.  

We been left off grand-children duty tomorrow, so we be catching the bus to the great city of Exeter.

put a strip of chicken wire 600mm with 25mm hole variety across our decking, so you can actually walk on the decking without slipping on yer arse! nailed it down with 2o mm clouts, all purchased from mole valley farmers, fifteen quid for nails and wire

Walked to the bar today, (nothing unusual there) had to return home as our runt cat decided to follow us. Valuable drinking time wasted.

Every now and then you have a lovely weekend. This has been one of those weekends. I'm off all weekend, wifey is off all weekend.

Lovely doggy walks on Dartmoor and more local places and beaches. Argo win. Scumbags lose. Great food. Lots of frothing ale. Lot's of films downloaded to watch. KFC Friday night. Snugs on the couch with the central heating on. Turned the landline off. The Landlord down the 7 stars had a roaring fire going last night (didn't want to leave pub) Lovely, just lovely.

Now - what complete c**t is going to spoil it?

IVA (VAT) is 23% here. Stuck on everything to pay back Germanic f(r)iends for their lovely Trident submarines and bailout largesse .Tragically, wine now 40 cents a glass at best bar. Other bar warmer and 35 cents but donkey urine. Luckily, Port still 50 cents a shot (big).

I was fed up with the little ones (5 & 6) nicking my laptop, for school work they says (cbbies games I find in the history) so this weekend I updates my old PC with a recondition dell, they are now lock in the computer room (cupboard) when they come visiting until it time to go home.

ps Getting ready for the gold bus to take me up the A38

Spent all weekend with family filling log shed that should have been filled in summer, general consensus is that my having ten weeks abroad during the spring and summer is at fault not them being lazy gits.   went to Standard in the arvo and had a couple of pints of oyster stout listening to Jazz then back to a mates for a coffee then home to venison pie and roast potatoes and peas, like poi I've had a cracking weekend, hope you all did too?

I've just eaten a 200g bar of Fruit & Nut (£1.50 @ Morrisons) in one sitting.

Sometimes, gluttony is sooooo good.

ive had porridge for breakfast again.... with homemade chilli jam

Just off into Chingford for a Hobo Lunch. That's HOme based office Lunch. It's all I have in life really.

Taxiing the daughter to the White Rabbit to see Mallory Knox at 6.45pm last night was a bit of an experience - sooooo many drunk people staggering around Mutley Plain and North Hill - it was like navigating the land of the zombies. Scary

Band - alternative rock and a bit post-hardcore - apparently......

Pat on the back to Exeter, xmas market was very good, Mrs enjoyed the shopping experience around the rest of the centre. It was a world of difference then the cash cows that is in Plymouth.

Only joking, course I knew who they were were an stuff, innit?  

Just played golf. Felt like I almost broke a wrist trying to take a divot when the ground was about as solid as a tarmac road.   

Exeter is a great place to go shopping for vinyl.

In other news, I had my first mince pie of the year yesterday.

Had mine last Thursday, have now eaten 10. Also like Eccles cakes.

Vinyl outsold CDs last year.
