Rain.
Rain rain rain, & yet more bloody rain.
That's how the first month back panned out for me, along with a myriad of issues that needed attention. At the exact same time the UK, whe...
In between the gaps in the rain I'm trying to get odds and sods jobs done.
But rather than the list shrinking, it's growing.

A “two van” van dock is a little pointless without two vans.
