Well that was worth the trip to Middlesbroughstan with my scrap
-
Bought some cheap steaks, done them with garlic and thyme wedges, a pepper and red onion salad with a lemon and mustard dressing, and mushrooms cooked in garlic butter
-
Works a treat mate, I just splash it on and walk around smelling like a bottle of Pernod, can’t keep a certain generation of lady’s away from me
-
So I thought I’d go and put what scrap I’ve got in this afternoon because my scrap lad mate said it’s starting to drop in price a little, so I went to my local place, normally I just chuck it on the scale but for some reason I went and checked the price, £2.70kg on the copper sod that, so I rang EMR in Middlesbrough, £5.80kg and the bloke said bring it over in the morning because the price is starting to drop, I wouldn’t like to guess how much copper is there but there’s about 40kg of lead and a bag of unstripped cable to go with it, I guess we’ll find out tomorrow
-
I go wherever the money takes me mate, I’ve spent the last 30 years getting to know as many people as possible and what I’ve learnt is you don’t need to be really good at anything, just do what you say you are going to do and most importantly, turn up when you say you will be there
-
Resin down at the church where we put a concrete path in a few weeks ago and then dropped back on the demolition job to fill the afternoon in
-
I’ve just been speaking to a mate and he said, get them crushed and use them over winter to get birds where I want them, he said they will pick beans and maize over anything, and if next door are only feeding wheat, you’ll get their birds as well
-
Second pad in by lunchtime and then off to the farm to back wheat up for the flying chickens, my mate said take half a dozen bags of beans if you want to, so we’ll see how they like them
-
Chicken and leak tagliatelle, doesn’t look much but it was lovely, everything is always better with cream and half a bottle of wine
-
First pad in and shuttering in for the second, probably could of had it all done today but there’s no point rushing a good job
-
Couple of concrete pads for containers to stand on, got to stretch this out for two days because it was priced for two days
-
Few cracked bricks to replace today and I had a go at a bit of dot and dab for the first time
-
I’d go tikka T3x lite, as for a scope, probably a HIK alpex 4K

Beef stroganoff from the leftover Sunday beef
-
I’ll pull it out the rubble and bag it up, nowt better than free money
-
Well, I think I’m about a day away from being able to put the digger through through this house, 90% of the copper out and a bit of lead still to come out, I think I’m going to be waiting on the elec board to come and do the disconnection, lifted the floor upstairs and there must have been mice inside for decades, absolutely full of wheat and barley
-
Pot roast beef today, I need to get some crusty bread for dipping in the leftover gravy
-
Thought I’d go and stand in a field tonight, I might of made the wrong decision, the wind is mental
-
Looks lovely that, but that’s enough pepper to take down an intruder
-
That’s a nice brown ale that and still brewed there unlike the bottle of dog I’m drinking from tadcaster
-
Mate of mine does the same, not sure if he fines them more if they don’t shoot at them, I’ll have to mention to him
-
Thank god that weeks over, just about to have an early finish and my phone rang, the old girl from the shoot saying two trees had come down across the drive, so off up there to clear them so she could get out, just got home and I’m knackered
-
You won’t see any white ones with me, I shoot them all, they are the lazy keepers bird of choice because they will tell you where your birds are, and everyone else
-
Making a bit of progress on the demolition job, I’m struggling at the minute to get on this job and stay on it, got some good scrap coming out of it
-
I’ve put 750 down this year, normally put 1000 down but I’m trying less birds better feed this year, hoping for 40 to 50 bird days and to pull a few in from other areas by feeding better than the surrounding shoots, its a driven shoot, them members stand one then beat the next, unless you are my guest, then you stand all day I looked at that but it fair old way from me and I’d have to find a nice hotel because I can’t be sleeping in a tent
