We've just had a big bag of gravel delivered, so I shall be shovelling that in a bit. Could be worse stuff to shovel of course. That arrives next week from my DIL's horses .
Cheers Gwyn, happy shovelling.

No we have a tiny garden. We aren't getting a huge amount from her, and she will be doing the shovelling, lovely girl.
She has Shires so they produce tons of the stuff, most of which they have to pay to be shot of. I get a small quantity of it occasionally. It needs to be stored for a while though as it is fresh.
The main problem is keeping the dogs away from it.

Nobody gets near my hub matey !!
It`s Roger`s hub that needs fixing - some sort of BT computer created con for non-techies - I prefer my Dell and a Virgin Cable Broadband 20mb system with Belkin router for the good lady and her laptop.
Tee hee

The Home Hub is ok if you hack it so that BT can't change settings without your permission. Basically as delivered you don't have access to the super user account, but you can get this by downloading the config file from the Hub, changing a couple of lines in a text editor, and then uploading the modified file. The Hub will still work perfectly as a wireless router/modem and you now have full control.
We're moving from BT as soon as the contract runs out, as they have failed to offer us an upgraded Hub (even though we pay exactly the same subscription as new customers who are getting them, repeated complaints during their calls to us get no response), they promised a digital TV box which never materialised, and the "Phorm" web tracking software they have been muttering about using is an outrageous invasion of privacy. I object to the idea of my web history being sold to advertisers so that they can target me. It's bad enough having a government which is desperate to gather all the data they can on us without unaccountable private companies getting in on it too!

Great Blues singer, Maria Muldaur. Not that you'd think so from her Oasis song.

That arrives next week from my DIL's horses
It must be one heck of a greenhouse/ garden/ rose bed.
K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.
Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...
PPG entries.
