They normally start towards the end of July around here, depending on the weather, my mate said the yield on the barley is a bit low but they’ll take it because last year they couldn’t get it down because it was that wet, I’ve just popped in to see his lad and he said they will be finished by the end of the month and that includes all their contracting, they normally finish around the beginning of September

I asked him and he said at the minute it’s putting out 13kw an hour, it averages between 10/11kw through the day, he said it should of paid for itself within 4 years, he can add more panels and increase the output but he’s waiting to find out how much he can put back into the grid because they will only allow you to put so much back in

Patio grouted before the sun burns me to a crisp
-
I’ve never know it this early, my mate has finished the barley and is starting on the wheat on Monday
-
It’s a hard life ( lol )
-
Hottest day of the year around here and this nobhead decided to a cottage pie
-
That is a thing of absolute beauty
-
I’m not sure I’ll ask him tomorrow, he was showing me the app on his phone before I left and it showed the car was on charge, the hot tub was on, the storage batteries were full charged and it was still putting back into the grid, they were 10k to have installed so I wouldn’t want to see an elecy bill ever again

Mates just had solar panels installed in his garden and wanted them tidying up, so that was today’s job
-
I always do, I’ll drop you a few quid, buy you something to eat, buy you a beer, but you have to talk to me and be a native, I don’t care if you are a piss head, on the gear or just down on your luck. I got this from my old man, he would often help a few of my mates out that had been kicked out of home when we were kids, we often had someone sleeping on the sofa, no body fu*ked with my dad so they knew what was expected of them if they wanted a roof over their head and a feed, my missus used to go mad with me because if we were in town and she was in a shop she’d often come out and find me sat
-
Spaghetti and meatballs with sourdough garlic bread tonight
-
Patio down, I’ll get it grouted on Friday, now I’ve got to get the harness out of my quad because the bloody mice at the farm have eaten it
-
Yeah, normally something that contains apples, like a can of cider
-
Pork choppy things again tonight, just something quick because I never go home til 8
-
I think If I went in there it would be the end of my life as I know it and I’d have to get used to stavs new reality
-
No, nothing, I couldn’t even work out what they had laid them on, some of it looked like yellow, some sharp and something that looked like render sand or block sand i think the problem is a lot of people do their mix too dry and it doesn’t bite into them, this will be going back down with SBR in the mix and on the back of the paving, I’ve also started using plasticiser in the mix, I’ve found it much nicer to work with and you can work with it a lot wetter
-
And she still moans at me
-
Got asked to extend a patio and re-grout the original patio where I did a fence a few weeks ago, anyway, I don’t know who put the patio down but it’s shocking, there’s something wrong when I can take it all up by hand, so as I’m a bit short of work this week I’ve pulled the lot up, they’ll have a fit when they see it ( lol ) but they won’t be getting charged any more and it will look better
-
Mrs Stav is a bit down in the dumps so to cheer her up a bit i made, colcannon, lemon baked cod loin, asparagus and a parsley sauce, it was bloody lovely
-
It can’t make it’s mind up what it wants to do, I’ll give it until 11 then I think I’ll give my attention to the bottle of JD that’s at home
-
View from my office, I’m half a mile from the van on the lookout for foxes and big cats and it’s lashing down
-
Another chicken dinner today and Mrs Stavs dinner for work tomorrow, not sure that would see me through the day but if that’s what she wants that’s what she can have
-
Sea bass, mini roast spuds and tender stem i did some lemon and black pepper mayo to go with it but forgot about it when I took the pic
-
Are the wotsits or carrots
-
My mate has that, he can’t eat tomatoes anymore because they set it off
