I can't believe it's not DIY


Yes, you could be forgiven for thinking that I had emigrated like my friend Al Dickman http://www.newlifeinnz.blogspot.com/. Well no, in fact I have been hiding under a rock hoping that The Cruel All Seeing Eye of Credit Crunch would not see me. Hopefully, so far, so good.

We survived some messy and extended lock-in based activity in the local pub over Christmas and New Year (inevitable really when it is stumbling distance down the lane) which meant a 5.30am exit on New Year's Day (apparently a pub with a capacity of 45 crammed in 120, plus a buffet, plus a dance floor, plus a DJ with 2 sets of 3 disco lights - who says the laws of physics can't be changed!) although merriment continued until 4pm that day - these are hardened Lancashire revellers after all.

As for things on the ranch, we are fast approaching the end of the road with the refurb of our gaff. So much so that we are even contemplating what impact a chain saw and a rotivator will have on the garden once the weather improves (we are supposed to be in for a blistering summer after all).

Slightly more time on my hands should also mean more regular visits to this blog so please come back and see if I have anything more interesting to say. In the meantime, here's a picture of those cinema seats in-situ (Oh yeah, cinema is up and running, complete with Blu-ray Player - all hail 1080p).
