We're gonna need a bigger butt...

I like big butts and I cannot lie.... no, not that film, the other one... more water... big fish. Not the most immersive photo for Samhain but hey... I'm unlikely to see a better picture with which to sum up today. 

This water butt, fed from the back of the house, has taken a fair bit of sun damage over the years and no longer fills to the brim. Ah well, we have a thousand litre container on the front side. Nevertheless, once we've sorted out how or if the rear extension happens we'll need to include a replacement butt.

It rained heavily, as you can possibly extrapolate from this photo. Janet, bless her, continued to garden and if she catches my head cold I'm going to use that in my defence. ;-) We are expecting worse weather, however, and the forecast is for a steeply falling low called Cairán to pass over us on Thursday.

The head cold remains an annoying attachment, particularly in the mornings when I'm really not pleasant to be near (Mornings can extend into the afternoon and even the late evening, so I am told). I am therefore sticking to my room, having a nerdy fun time restructuring the directories on my music server.

And suddenly the Sun comes out! It's all ups and downs, eh. If you celebrate Halloween don't knock at the house of Mr Snotty. If you mark Samhain may your ancestors of choice be close to you. :-)
