thanks limey, I got the grape arbours in, then got the garden tractor stuck - got the neighbour to pull me out ...he's a good sort.
Now to get the grapes planted, and a quick run into town for more tractor fuel
it was a lovely day - and fortunately my family was only 'merely annoying', as opposed to 'made the day a complete misery' - which was a win (and completely ignorable by being wrapped up in our own cocoon of happiness)
Missed chatting with him this morning, - got to the computer late (well past his bedtime) because I had to get the spag sauce started in the crock pot... but his FB tells me he got the car back to his parents' house and now it's clean it up and sell it time
