morning all, well it was morning a short while ago. had bit of an overstay in bed and enjoyed the warmth of the electric blanet untill i decided to get up and make a cup of tea.
worked up a hate on the arbour and decided to press on and see if i could get the roof on inbetween showers. brought the parts indoors and did a part assembly, completed on site.
can i lift that up on my own or shall i wait for gordon. he is either my boyfriend or my next door neighbour!!! webber, you are not just a pretty face, have a go. i did and it is up. steps and screw in position and bingo.

first of all, it arrived

what could go wrong???

Nurse Gladys Emanuel here oh I can see a spot of blood, lick it, your slaver is the best and quickest to heal, I see your plastered again haha. It was all worth it now was nt it. Looks great, I would get two plants either side to hide those post, two nice tall ferns would look a treat.

Always keep a small tube of Savlon in the garden tool kit.
The dirt in those wounds could be quite serious if not
cleansed.
