RIP young bird 🐦 :-(

So, we had a bird enter the house from the roofline above the main bedroom – although we think it was nesting just inside the house at roof line.

The poor little thing was battling to find its way out but was heading over the master bedroom ceiling towards the en-suite. This was Saturday morning.

By the afternoon the little chap had managed to figure out a way down the walls and by the late afternoon was just above the lounge area to the inside of one of the large beams 🙁

Tonight, dad removed the poor things body from the void under the master en-suite 🙁

RIP poor little chap – your last 36 hours were tortuous and we were unable to help 🙁

First BBQ of the year…

Believe it or not we only had our first BBQ of the year last night for dinner…

The requirement and weather have really only just aligned for us so some super tasty chicken was on the menu 👌

Sadly we did not enjoy the food outside as the temperature had dropped off enough to potentially cause unnecessary whinging from the younger members of the Rust clan.

Looking forward to (and hoping for) more opportunities in the coming weeks and months for more of the same 🙂

Car battery – AGAIN today

Simon was woken by a text message and a follow up phone call from Land Rover this morning. Yes, Reggie (new name) has experienced yet another flat battery.

However, this morning’s was following the use of the automatic speed limiter function yesterday.

The AA guy managed to start it by using both his van AND the portable power supply – neither one of them alone was enough to fire the 6 cylinder diesel….

So, we are now pretty sure that the problem does indeed lie in the speed limiter function since Simon has not used it for the whole week until Saturday – then some 18 hours later, it died again. Coincidence? Thinkest I Not.

Reggie is booked in for the update of the two components that the LR assist guy mentioned last week so hopefully all will be sorted soon. This time, the car was trying to pull 4.5amps as soon as the car was opened – hence the problem was still occurring after the AA guy arrived – sadly an LR guy could not attend so we were not able to fully diagnose (that would have been the icing on the cake)
