Recently I had a touch of a cold. Just one day. Just the day after the day I didn't eat a Cadbury Creme Egg.
I should explain that although it may not be obvious if you've witnessed my girth of late but I don't normally eat a Cadbury Creme Egg everyday but in the run up to Easter I've been finding the eggs in my cookie jar (freecycled!).
Now the science priests say that refined sugar of the sort found in these delectable treats put a lot of strain on one's immune system. If you believe the science priests eating one of these eggs should eliminate my resistance to all the cold germs around me. The boss had a cold, most of the people at my work have colds, my dentist has a cold and even when I tried to escape the germs in Ottawa I found them to be well entrenched among the community there. Instead the one day I didn't eat the sugar was the day I got stuffed up. Fortunately a Lindt egg quickly cured me. In a nanosecond.
How did I defy the teachings of the science priests you ask? It was easy, 95% of the universe is undetectable "dark matter".

A good few days
We got off to a good start this week. Three days where good weather and time off work coincided. We picked out the spots for the bee hives and cleared out the brush so that we can actually drive them in there. Now to get some cinder blocks and we'll be in a position to actually go collect the hives!
Next up was to get started on the wattle fence. We drove in some poles and then the Boss got started weaving the cross sticks. We were glad to do this now. We've got almost one wall done of the four we need and we learned a lot about what makes a good post and what makes a good switch. From now on the plan will be to cut switches in the morning and wee them in the afternoon before they have a chance to dry out much. For anyone looking to come out and get a day of fresh air and not too hard labour helping with the wattle fence is a great opportunity.
On a sad note we found a dead porcupine. Looks like it probably got it crossing the road and could only crawl another 50 yards before expiring. so I buried it.
I also knocked down some more poplars and I'm at the stage where I'd like to get them hauled out and get an idea of just how much wood I've got. Next up for me is to improve the temporary entrance so we can get started on the bunkie.
