you all have an absolutely wonderful day
2:23
today and I'm hoping that I will do as
2:25
well and what I'll probably do on
2:28
Christmas Day is is I'll
2:31
probably first off pop to my allotment
2:33
in the morning just to give it a little
2:35
check because I've not been to allotment
2:37
for a few days so I'll probably pop down
2:40
have a little look around see Miss Mrs
2:42
pussycat and probably feed the birds as
2:46
well as obviously the bird seed might
2:48
need filling up so yeah we're going to
2:50
give some birds some food as well to
2:53
treat them and give them some enjoyment
2:56
so we've got to look after all our
2:58
little Wildlife friends down on the
3:00
allotment as well so I'll probably do
3:02
that
3:04
and touch
3:06
wood new potting bench is still standing
3:10
my dad's being with an to plot each day
3:12
because he goes and feeds the Cat every
3:13
day um but my bench is still standing
3:18
and yeah my roof's still fixed on as
3:22
well because we did have some bad wind
3:24
as well and I did quite a few repairs on
3:26
the roof over the weekend as it's had a
3:29
bit of damage over the winter and I
3:32
thought I'll just bdge it up make sure
3:34
that it don't get any worse than it
3:36
actually is so I budged it all up and
3:39
thankfully it's all held so that is
3:41
another good sign that things are doing
3:44
well and my big project is underway my
3:48
secret project is underway for my shed
3:50
as well and I can tell you that I'm
3:52
painting it painting my potting bench
3:54
