Assembled 10 bird and bat boxes this weekend. DIY is definitely not my strong suit - fewer than half the nails go in straight first try.

Oh hey, Kelly and I and a host of other *very* middle-aged people went to see these guys on Sunday evening. It was supposed to be the 30th anniversary of the release of ‘Flood’, but then the pandemic intervened. #TMBG #Roundhouse

Another volunteer day, spent 5 hours Saturday painting the railings on this block, also reducing the ivy, weeding, and planting more flowering climbers. Job not quite done, will need one more day. An old lady commented she’s lived there 50 years and had n
