After breakfast went into town to get tonight’s fish, and to get my long auger sharpened – it’d become almost unusable because I’d blunted the tip on too many wires and staples while drillig holes right through strainer posts for gate gudgeons. Then went to Mitre-10 for a grease-gun – the one I inherited here is very old and I suspect broken, it also needs packing with grease rather than accepting a cartridge. Got 200 more 4” outside woodscrews and a centre-punch. My hole punches are all designed for banging nail heads below the surface but I need something to start a hole when drilling into metal.
Adjusted catch on the front (133 entrance) gate and wired up bottom gudgeon so gate cannot easily be lifted off its hinges. Also adjusted the long gate from the new shed into the goose enclosure, adding a catch and making it sit higher off the ground. Also stuffed wires into the wall and put on the wall plate for the security and ethernet cables in the new shed – left exposed by mistake by the Cook brothers.
Mowed the grass, everything I usually do except the cottage lawn itself. We’re well into the spring flush and the grass is growing very quickly.
