I Had A Busy Day,

at Kai's home, 

Diana had stayed there overnight, I should say this will be a small post, as soon as I finish it I will be off to visit Duncan, I arrived at Kai's in the morning and picked up some bee food that Kai had found, also the yearly trophy that Steve had won, from the bee keeping club he belonged to, above is the path to the apiary, 

when I arrived one of the 'old hands' was showing some of the other members how to clean and look after the hives there, some of which were Steve's,

as well as cleaning, a weekly look for varroa mites is also carried out, these pesky parasites can decimate a colony in a couple of years and ultimately destroy it completely, 

but all of these colonies checked out to be varroa free, but it is a ongoing problem for bee keepers, next back to Kai's to drop off Diana at work, also take Kai to a cash point, when we arrived back after a coffee IKEA arrived with all of Kai's new furniture for the downstairs living room and a bed for upstairs, next the AV installation chap called round, the big television in the lounge moved from the front room to the living room and one from upstairs to be brought down, both connected to Netflix and the house Internet restored, all of this was switched off and unplug when all of the downstairs was repainted, next a builder that Steve had instructed called by to finalise plans for the outside if the house to be repaired and repainted, some of the wood work was starting to rot, everything was finished at about 5.00 in the afternoon, so I made a move for home, Diana will be returning to Kai's when she finishes her shift, in the evening after my evening meal it was feet up for a Midsomer Murder, a Have I Got A Bit More News For You, rounding off the evening with a It Ain't Half Hot Mum, before I was off to bed.
