Hippo's latest activity

Afternoon Sunny and warm Got some respite from kidney pain till stone moves again, making the most of it 🙂 Beef, spuds and cabbage for tea, that's a salad to me :D Painted one of trucks wheels, got Daresbury Steam Show at weekend Stay cool and...

Good job. Can I ask why you are removing it? J

So it only took 2.30 this morning to clear one half of the loft, 30 bags zip tied off, hoovered and bleached. Daughter helped. I’ve bought all the ppe, hepa vacuum, paid her £300 and still come in £2k under quote skip dependant. Same task again...

The mighty grey Fergie. Good choice sir 👍

Don't envy you the task at all. Small parcels of it shoved into bin-liners and tied off and lobbed thru the hatch. For each "goal" reward yourself with 1 ice-cold beer. Job "jobbed" in no time. Are you vacuuming out all the "bits" too?

Exacerbated by being in a Tyvex suit with a ffp face mask on 🤣 It’s my own fault, I could’ve paid the £3k the contractor wanted to do the job. I just channelled my inner @kevstar and thought the money would be better spent on a tractor.

They are only young 30s? So they have time to change or at least make a stool wif an ole in it;). J

Thats not going to be a nice job. If you need any moral support I will be cheering you on from the pool, OK :) J

I have the unenviable task of removing 30 year old loft insulation today. Unavoidably the task day is set for today and tomorrow. Having been up there last week, it is like a furnace.

Going to be hot again. Make sure yer put water out for wild life. Tis a good job eye gottid me harvester wuking. Eye collect 4x the amount of rain eye did before. Helps to correct the lack ov rains.

Morning All. :D Looks like another nice day! :) Have a great day. :D

Are thay planning to retire there, love to see them squatting at 70yrs 😉😉

Nope I dont live in a top floor flat.

You got the runt of the litter 🤣🤣

Hippo going out to play with the squiggles

Home from home?

I was in Egypt & was touching cloth so I had to go n use one of there drop toilets......chap sat outside covered in flys :oops: giving you loo roll aye 1 bloody sheet, I said 1 sheet ?? he said yes its to clean your finger once youve cleaned...

I have no idea, I don’t have to use their loo in the mornings. J

But what happens the morning you are having a particularly reluctant poop and you can’t sit with your feet up against the door? And if you over ‘pushed’ and passed out, it could get messy if you’re only squatting 😳😳😱😱

Well that is interesting, as we chuck the cleaned out contents of the chicken shed on ground to use as fertiliser for our veg! What goes around comes around as they say!! I have heard that squatting "A la turque" is good for you. Personally I...

No squiggle is inherently evil. Some squiggles however, make poor life choices. It starts with just one nut from the hands of a human, then two, then three. Until the poor squiggle is so dependent on the human nut supply that he forgets how to...

Friends of ours down the road, they are pretty veggy,off the grid, use natural materials, where they can. They live in a Yurt with a few extensions (green house) and have solar panels. They chuck their compost toliet contents into the chicken...

Nah, The twist in the story is Ratty done it (on the last page) :eek:

Afternoon all, I will try to catch up later. Came home to a garden party last night :vb-party2::vb-party2: A few beers were sunk :vb-party: Might have had a wee dram or toooooo...

The last chapter will contain evidence that "evil Squiggle" killed "Dr Squiggle" with a nut from the back door and used on the garage roof. Do I win 🤔 :p. J

So, with the good weather being back, I am halfway through cleaning out and restrawing the henhouse. Tis funny the way they fuss around when I have to invade their space! And once redone they'll be back in moving the furniture around until it is...

You REALLY should start a YouTube channel with all this, you'd soon be able to give up work!! 🤣

Morning folks :). Well the flood alert for the Marjon Mansion basement has been lifted:). The vertical drop of pipe had dropped and become disconnected from the shower syhpon drain elbow, Why I have no idea, can only really put it down to the...
