Kooob'd

Random jollity this morning - a three-sided game of croquet in partners. (Yeah, I know, ad hoc rules of 1 ball each team but with black being a 'roving' ball not actually being run by any one team. Worked pretty well.)

Followed by a men vs. women game of Kubb (pronounced koob apparently), an activity of throwing sticks and knocking things down, something you'd expect human males to excel at.  Still, they came second...

Then things got less fun as N's rear wheel brake seized on and I found the errant and puzzling blocked drain. Puzzling because I can detect no discernable exit for the water to depart the blocked gully.  Bodged a bypass for now, and will need to start digging - literally.

Still, we have the continued, if unplanned, company of S&N.
