Removing chimneys, especially from inside the house, it a big, nasty, dirty job.

You hoover dust up for months afterwards!

And isn't it amazing the physical amount of stuff you take out? You wonder where & how it all fitted inside in the first place

You are right there, I have taken 2 chimney stacks down and three chimney breasts, all had Crow or Jackdaw nests in them starting from the chimney pots [ now garden features ] right down to the hearths which were blocked off at the time, I still have one operating chimney left for our woodburners , a must have.

Only 2 more days of radiotherapy, then come this Friday it's "Cry Freedom!"

But while I was hooked up to a drip this afternoon Neil was preying on the weak and vulnerable.
He pinched half my sandwiches and crisps, the cad!

Too wet to cut the lawn, so we're putting up coving . I've got head of mixing sussed - makes enough to leave us short on the length we're doing, so she has to mix more and then we have to do another length because she has some left..... Day of rest!!!
