It was raining went I got up and it did not stop until tea time. I went round to Steve's in the morning to fettle his landy. We rigged up the basha over the landys to keep the rain off whilst we fettled the motor. That took me through to 1pm. I had a spot of lunch and watch the MotoGP from Silverstone. It was raining there as well.
After a sandwich I went over to Shepshed to get a new number plate but got there half an hour too late. Next a popped over to Boundary Store to pick up some posts for the lottie. When I got home I still had some of the day left. I tidied up Degsy and hung the basha up in the garage to dry. I have been putting off sorting out a few hive frames so I got the gear out to clean up and refurbish the frames. I had to build three super frames which was easy enough. I had a brood box than needed organising. The box came from the double brood hive which I broke down. Five of the eleven frames came with the first nuc. They needed changing and today was the time. I cut out the comb from the frame then cleaned off the remaining wax from the frame. Then I fitted a new piece of foundation and re-assembled the frame. Now I have a brood box ready for the next swarm.
So despite the rain I got a bunch of stuff including a rummage in the loft. I found what I was looking for and other treasure.
