A Blackbird builds its own home and lays eggs above the engine in Ian's Teleporter but by the time we realise this, the eggs must be truly 'cooked' due to the heat generated by the engine and although she clearly returns to the nest even though the machine ends up in different places after use, the eggs fail to hatch and she eventually abandons the nest.

Meanwhile - Ian begins landscaping, starting with a disabled ramp to the main entrance and path followed by the large patio area facing the rear garden project managed by us while taking a well earned break in Italy with help from keen photographer and neighbour, Derek and his pictures sent to us via the internet.

Our electricians return with a vengance and begin connecting the maze of wires to the gigantic fuse board which will eventually take all the fun out of tripping over the many extension leads running throughout the house - great fun late at night!
