Decorating and a new walk: Sat/Sun 20th/21st August, 2016.

Saturday afternoon.
The sugar soaping in the kitchen is all done and now it's time for the first coat of emulsion.
Saturday afternoon II:
Time for the mini-roller.
Sunday morning:
Highly skilled detailing.
Sunday morning II:
Splendid aerial action shot of the second coat of emulsion being expertly applied.
Gotta finish by 1:00pm and the start of the Czech Republic Moto GP round from Brno.
We predict that Cal Crutchlow is gonna pull off a surprising and historic victory on the drying track.
It'll be the first time that a British rider has won a GP since Barry Sheene won in Sweden in 1981.
A 35 year wait. It's gonna get emotional!
Sunday 4:00pm-ish:
We've recovered from Cal's brilliant victory, and have rested after doing the emulsion in record time, so now it's time for a walk. Can't go to the racecourse today 'cos that Ray Smeeting-fella is using it, so we're going to investigate the Worcester & Birmingham Canal.
This is the view from Bilford Road where we start our canal walk.
 Facing south but heading north.
Mother duck and her ducklings corner us and ask the traditional question:
'Got any bread?'
A few yards further on and our new friends are still bullying us.
We promise them we'll bring bread next time 
(despite all the RSPB advice - they know nowt, ducks love bread!).
This land will be the site for a new sports complex at Perdiswell.
If Worcester City FC ever get the planning permission or the finance, this is where they will build their new ground (they have to play at Bromsgrove at the mo').
Note the Malvern Hills lurking under the low cloud in the far distance.
Heading back towards Droitwich Road and home.
It's been a nice walk. We'll be doing it again one feels.
