The Good Lady Wife knocked one of her Venetian glass birds off the mantlepiece, breaking one of it's legs. I tried Superglue and glass glue but the pieces were too fragmented to reconstruct. An IKEA pencil and a mini lathe off ebay came to the rescue - but she's not impressed with the result. Can't think why... ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/03/30/Peg-leg.jpg)

Because you missed off the eye patch and the little pirate on the shoulder.

Colin ;-) +1 It could have been a lot worse. It could have been you that caused the damage in the first place.

This morning I used a neglected patch behind some flower beds to squeeze in a couple of seed beds for radishes, lettuce and spinach. If this bloomin' lockdown is going to go on for another 6 months we're going to need all the greens we can get. On a slight slope so a bit of bodgery with the terracing, but it'll do. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/03/30/IMG_0210.jpg)
