Stoned

 Noah called. He wanted his deluge back. We seem to have acquired a rain cloud overnight. It had decided to disgorge biblical amounts of rain across this section of the South Coast. Fortunately, it got bored and decided, by mid-morning, to move on and torment somewhere else.

We had a few plans to execute. The first was to take the water samples and get them sent off to the lab in Germany for analysis. Hopefully, this will reveal what lurks within our water that might be causing the Silver Vixen's hair to take on a slightly green hue.

We are planning to have some of our landscaping changed. Originally, we put down Cotswold chippings. The problem is that these are porous limestone and, over time, they have discoloured. 

We viewed a display of about 40 different types of stone. Some small gravel, some large cobbles, some rough chippings, some smooth pebbles, some bright but porous, and some was coloured and hard. We took advice from the staff and, in the end, chose a stone called "Flamingo".

The Gorse Fox has now emailed our landscape chappie and told him what we want. We now need to see when he can start work.
