Looking good one week on. -
Week 29 – September 14th 2020 – Week 26 of lockdown
New Year and 100 posts up and what timing. It’s my birthday week.
Thank you as always to my lovely wife Claire for arranging this and also for letting me retire.❤
It’s been a strange year, knowing that at the start I would be made redundant in 60 days’ time after 21 years plus service (21 years, 1 month and 11 days to be precise).
Feeling quite depressed about it, yes leap year day, very apt, what was I leaping into, then in less a month time, were in Covid19 lockdown!!
But nearly 7 months on, I feel like a new man, I can actually do DIY, the mortgage is paid off, back playing cricket (shame not bowling) chatting with my local MP and keeping my wife happy as she gets used to working from home. ? More to come,
It’s Birthday and officially retirement time!! -
Week 20 –July 13th 2020 – Week 17 of lockdown part 1
As I mentioned in a previous blog, I said watch the right hand corner and the garage, well here you go, my DIY skills were expanding and I think this was the first time that I used the term MJ Limited here to serve 🙂
The elephant found it new home and new companion too 🙂
Also turned this into a bird eating area, with a bird house and a walk way to make it easier for them to consume the food.
Though eagle eye people will also notice other changes, more to come. 🙂
What do you think?
Feel free to leave comments.

Did I really let the garage get that bad? Bad me.
What a MESS!! Obviously I did, looking at this in the garden, also make a note of the right hand side and in front of the garage.
Yes it was that bad 🙁 
How much work to be done and runs to the rubbish dump? So who you going to call? COVID19 buster.
Who you going to call COVID19 buster!! What a difference, can actually use it again and find stuff, well I could before, but this is easier.
Now that’s much better. 🙂 New garden ornament, but where is it going to go?

Week 16 –June 15th 2020 – Week 13 of lockdown
Now my DIY was stepping up a level (yes for you experts), this may be nothing, but as I mentioned before, before 2020 my skills were 0.
So to change this small bedroom from this
to this was a big deal, all done in four days. I think I did a good job. What do you think?

Well though I know I’m good at something, like cutting down or smashing stuff up, now and again I do need help.
Thankfully my wife steps in often too help, great team work to get rid of this annoying willow over our drive.

Week 13 – May 25th 2020 – Week 10 of lockdown
So the DIY project starts, now you have to remember, prior to 2020 as mentioned before, my DIY skills was breaking up stuff or passing a screw driver to my father in law and sometimes I got that wrong!
So to paint these wooden chairs was a BIG thing for me lol.
