The DP delivered my car to the garage across the field. Then the joiner appeared with lots of wood, and bags of cement.
He started to erect the up right bits.
The DP took me to the Prom. Today I wore my new pink jeans, a red and white stripy top and shoes. No hat, no gloves. But I did have a coat on.
The Phoenix heading out on the hunt. So although the weather was beautiful it was a rough ride on the sea.
Here we have two Oystercatchers in courtship mode, bowing with open beaks.
The Gull Gang, Skurries - Herring Gulls.
Warm enough not to have to light the stove in the Shedudio. I started a Swan on a slate tile.
Then spent some time on refreshing my Shed sign. It was sadly faded.
Meanwhile outside, lots of activity.
The new fence. Just hoping it is all in place tomorrow and nothing has hit it....
Our lovely joiner is back tomorrow to do the horizontals. The DP is to order the Escallonia hedge plants. Should soon be looking pretty. After we have done our bit I shall commence having a go at the Council to put up better signage as promised and our signs to indicate the turn/bend/verge as also promised. Fingers crossed that the fence remains undamaged.
My car. Our lovely garage man has cleared the throttle body - no idea what that means - but its done and ready for me to collect. Amazing. Should be back out tomorrow in control of where I go!
One bit more of exciting news is Mr Bercow, speaker of the House of Commons, has said Mrs May cannot bring her deal back for the third time as it breaks parliamentary rules. Some sense in all this. Well done John Bercow. Poor state this country is in. Just a joke now we are.
So there I am - had an exciting and happy day. Hope you all have too.

Glad you had a lovely day. Hope the fence stays intact.
Quite a rough sea by the looks of it.
Escallonia is a lovely hedging plant - we lost ours at the cottage on the seaside boundary in the great frost one year when it got to -16 and it never recovered. We are hedging our bets now and have a mixed hedge hoping if there is ever a repeat some plants will survive.
Wish the weather would perk up a bit here. Getting warmer but still a drizzle.
Love the slate with the swan, stunning. Glad all went well with the car repair and hopefully the fence will be finished and it too will look good. Always nice when everything goes to plan.
Always love to come to your blog for the glimpse of the sea and sea birds - it is so calming, thank you.
