Wind!

Those of you who were here over New Year will remember my neighbour Brendon's attempts to repair our border fence (owned by him).  He ended up doing a good job replacing the duff panel, but unfortunately today's 70 mph gusts of wind have buggered the rest of the fence nicely!

You can also see our little 10' shrub/tree thingummy has come a cropper...  I think he can be salvaged though.

Time well spent on his part them. Shame he didn't have the three and a half days needed to sort the rest of the fence.

Plus, I love the work "cropper". Can't think why, but I get a great deal of satisfaction from saying "he's come a cropper". ;-)

Steve Cropper was the tall long-haired guitarist from Booker T & the MGs who wrote the classic (you'll know it) instrumental 'Green Onions'.

He also played the guitarist in The Blues Brothers for those of you who are more film-minded than music...

Well done that man. Or woman. I had problems telling which one he was when we saw him toiling away hopelessly at New Year. :-)

LOVE THE NEW LOOK!! It's very crisp and clean looking....

...and it also pleases me to know that you are also safe and well, even though you've nothing to say (or comment on)!!
