Extras

Always frustrating when you finally get the nail gun put back together, and some wife or other wandering by ‘helpfully’ points out the bits you forgot to put back in.

All in all, the gun was dismantled and re-assembled five times. But to no avail. In seeking to dislodge a disobliging broken nail we instead dislodged a tiny, but apparently crucial, wire. Accordingly, the cat defences are delayed.

Work filled the rest of the day, save for a pleasant wander to the pond in the sunshine to feed the fish. Two frogs were hanging out too. Can’t imagine the water temperature is very enjoyable just now.
