pub now with added bike! not that I've ridden it yet; and I have a cunning plan to stop people riding it without a helmet, involving a combination lock.

met some more neighbours yesterday: Bruce, who was installing a letterbox, and Trish, who brought over some lovely windfall peaches while I was anxiously running around trying to get all the planning for the big planting day done.

blackberry slaughter is now booked: holes will be dug soon: fence is imminent; all I have to do now is get the trees there, turn up with a few mates and plant. oh, and assemble the dreaded watering system. and buy a pump on eBay. and. and. and.

ah well, it keeps me busy.

I am trying out a new rentals site that has an online calendar: it's at http://www.gulivers.com/2786. if it gets a few rentals a year it will be worth doing, just to have a reliable calendar and not have to send people long emails on availability. the main site is not updated yet, will be soon.
