Back already @Dovefromabove?  Must have been good to see them all.
Respect to tilers. Admittedly they do it on a professionally levelled floor base but getting the blighters to sit level on an uneven, amateur cemented floor is not easy and, just as I'd got the first 8 sorted in comes Fat Cosmos to inspect and re-arrange them for me.  Spirit levels out in earnest.  Need more tiling cement for the next batch so am stumped for today. Â
@Hostafan1, thanks for that, I've got dozens of packets of the 'good' rat bait as recommended by Lyn I think and the blighters just completely ignore it.
Glad you enjoyed your visit Dove. Â I only tried my hand once at tiling Obelixx, never again, it's far more difficult than it looks.

Rats don't like "new" stuff. Leave the bait in place until they get accustomed to seeing it there and hopefully they'll then start to eat it.Â
I had my 2nd vaccination this morning, have I said? Went smoothly.
Watched last Line of Duty during lunch break. I don't know how anyone, even the person who wrote it, remembers who everyone is and what happened to them. Kept having to Google, I like to understand what is going on.
Cleaned downstairs this afternoon. It wasn't very dirty and it's so much quicker to do than old house. Been tipping with rain.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
This is not fine tiling. Just putting a level and damp proof layer down on which to stand the old IKEA garage shelving units. I'm just using up old tiles we've found stashed in the ruin or have left over form our own recent projects but they do need to be level.
I've been down to see the chooks with Possum - getting over the snake worries - and they are in fine form despite all the cold and the wind.  They do have plenty of sheltered spots to hide.  I also checked those wee cabbage plants they stripped and it looks like they are recovering.
No rain here today @Busy-Lizzie but definitely not a gardening day. Far too draughty.  Easy cleaning is important and why I like tiled floors so much.  OH has had a text to say our robot has been fixed. That'll please Possum. She hates the bloody Dyson too.  Â
Very soggy session at Capel today. Ah well it's not that often, went to good GC nearby, on my way home got some new bulb pans at less than 1/2 price, some of our old ones were breaking up so these will replace them.Â
Meant to say, we need to do the same thing as you @Dovefromabove, with the plants for SD & SIL, our trip will be much shorter as they are only 15 min up the road. Makes me wonder when they will be raising the plants for us.😄
Desided to go to a garden centre today haven't visited for over a year.csny find my purse, panicking,gutted the place. It should have been on my hand bag from yesterday,check car,see if it fell out of my bag. Ring the hotel where I went yesterday when I last used it, nope,not been given in. Don't want to fess up to hubby. THEN dog jumps off the bed and there under her blanket is my purse,! She must have knocked it out of my bag yesterday,it was on the bed all night, maybe she had a plan to stop me going to the garden centre,!! Then I had to ring the hotel manager and tell him the dog had my purse

Glad @Dovefromabove and @WonkyWomble had a good day.
