Apologies for not posting a blog last week.  A combination of factors, including we (I) probably hadn\u2019t done so much to publicise or making a blog worthwhile to write.  You\u2019ll have to be the judges if this week warrants one either!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the positive side, after a month when you could have been forgiven for thinking we had entirely skipped summer this year and started an early winter period with strong winds, cold temperatures and lots of rain, the last week has become more late spring-like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason I ‘missed’ last Sunday was that over the last 2 weeks I have struggled to remember exactly what day it is at times as the weeks don\u2019t have much \u2018rhythm\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In normal (non-COVID affected) times, Dave\u2019s going to work routinely, us having a weekly drink somewhere and guests arriving in the g\u00eetes, generally on a Saturday in the summer, a certain pattern is formed and it is easy to know where I am.  Now the only thing which is more routine is Dave\u2019s regular online personal training clients.  We are very fortunate that we have welcomed lots of guests to Kergudon but they are arriving on all days of the week so that doesn\u2019t anchor the diary in the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I named this blog \u2018Make and Mend\u2019 as it seemed to sum up by recent activities.  It is a term I became familiar with when in the Navy.  There, it is used for any free time you have for yourself to traditionally, make or repair items of uniform or ongoing personal projects.  Generally, it meant catching up on well-earned rest or generally relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018making\u2019 was principally the 2 projects I was working on when I last blogged 2 weeks ago<\/a> which have now been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first was my new workbench in the end garage bay which looks great and will allow me lost of space for other projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second is the new gate between the front terraces of Priory and Granary making the latter\u2019s space private again.\u00a0 I am very pleased with this too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
