Yesterday was pretty wet but I still beavered on and did manage to get some more digging done.  I have been more productive today (I know its 3pm and I have finished) but I am buggered after all the digging.

Here is a picture of a suprise visitor the must have fallen into the trench last night.

I am not sure if its a mouse or a vole but it was tiny, about half the size of a Zippo lighter.  For all you animal lovers I did get him out of the trench and release him back into the wild (after I waited for my phone to charge to take its picture!).

My trench digging is about ¾ there - just got one more section to dig (which happens to have concrete paths running through the middle and a mains water pipe to put in then its all ready for the concrete on Thursday (which is meant to be the nicest day of the week).

And here is a picture of the trench showing where I have smashed through the old soil pipe (it isnt needed now since I will be putting in a new sewage system.
