Po

You know when you see something and you think ‘there’s a story there….’ Well this was one of those moments.

Ironically, it wasn’t on ‘Teletubby Hill’ – the nickname we have for one of the lanes near the yard. It was further on. Made me laugh as it’s not what I was expecting to see on a Sunday afternoon.

Buddy and I had a lovely ride out. Apart from a bit of a wardrobe malfunction. His hi-viz sheet somehow flew over his tail and was flapping round in the strong winds. I couldn’t get it back in place while onboard, so I rode back sitting on it. It wasn’t the most comfortable, but at least it stopped it acting like a sail.

As Po would say ‘uh oh!’

Baffled

I bought a new shade sail to replace the one that was ripped. Today was the first real opportunity to put it up. I loved the old one, it worked a treat. Sadly one too many Summer storms saw the end of it.

Rather excited about my new one. Not to mention another glorious day. I grabbed the ladder and set about putting the new one up.

I ordered EXACTLY the same dimensions as the previous one. But it’s bigger?! So it’s rather saggy. Two hours I spent up and down the ladder. Checking it. Readjusting it. Measuring it. Laying it over the old one. Sweating considerably. Before giving up.

It kinda does the job. Besides, there’s no guarantee that it’ll be sunny tomorrow. It really baffled me. Blame the heat. Or maybe just that it’s a blue job…
