Winter Solstice Sunday (2014-12-21)

Christmas shopping again today. And some washing. Washing was easy (bung it in the machine, then ignore) but drying was a problem as one of my neighbours had ripped up the "whirligig" thing in the garden that we use to hang clothes on to dry. I assumed it would be a simple job to replace, just bung it back in the hole. But I could not find the hole!

While I was searching, one of my other neighbours came down to borrow some money off me, he helped me look, we still could not find the hole.

In the end we had to dig another one. We did not have any proper aggregates with which to pack the hole, we used sticks, bits of tile that had fallen off the roof, and even an old meat bone we found in the garden! Hope there is not a strong wind, or the whole thing could uproot itself and blow away (vision of my underwear saying to my socks "We're not in Kansas anymore....").
