Alas dear readers VILE BARBARIANS now pose an Existential Threat to the Happiness of Daffy, Dusty MM in his Battered Beach Shack home near Paradise Lost Cove.
A Strengthening of my domestic defenses is required.

Many more small loads of bluestone from my Cut Above Quarry site will be needed to build the thick strong stone boundary walls I have decided are required to protect my home.

The physical work will be excellent exercise for my ageing body.

I do enjoy digging with a long handle spade, it's moving the wheelbarrow loads of dirt that I find irksome.

I also like making concrete in my concrete mixer and using the concrete for building works.

The Romans were excellent builders using stone, fired clay bricks, and tiles, timbers and metals, and wonderful designers and builders of fortified buildings for different uses.

I will add the use of modern electrical and electronic technologies to Roman inspired building designs and construction materials to my designs and construction adapted to the small piece of Australian land on which I live.

With an emphasis on using recycled building materials.

The Romans used concrete with great expertise

Hooray for Webdiplomacy!
A bastion of civilisation & Sanctuary for Wisdom and Creative Thinking, Defender of Freedoms.
I would like to have the all the members of our Webdiplomacy community be tested for intelligence quotient...
It is my belief that the scores from such intelligence quotient testing would yield evidence that described by me bluntly as:
the Webdiplomacy members are far more intelligent than the average citizen in any nation.
We are helping to raise the intelligence of humanity by nurturing young whipper-snappers and in time many will become as wise as Octavious and some as wise as Almost Omniscient Kestas.

With Awe & Delight I can inform readers that an Intellectual Heavyweight Champion in our Webdiplomacy community has joined my World Game.

Be assured readers that Omnipotent Zultar will likely be an interested spectator of this World game.

We have our Noble Duty to our Omnipotent Zultar and are obliged to provide Omnipotent Zultar with the Best Possible World game imaginable.

At 137 points to enter the potential pot of Lovely Webdiplomacy Points will exceed 2,000 points easily.
Well I have to go and defend my Sanctuary.
Have fun whipper-snappers

Had my trusty cement mixer in action yesterday, it's about 4 am on Sunday morning and I am almost ready to sleep.
Two steel posts beside my back yard fence now have concrete foundations.
The 2 steel posts will support a wire mesh for passionfruit vines, a X Jasmine vine, a Loganberry vine and my 100% organic barb wire with delicious berrues, an extremely thorny blackberry vine.

I've used up all the gravel and sand for making concrete that I had, so.i have to wait until I can get more before doing more concrete foundations

Plus there is the usual wait at least one week for the concrete to set properly before putting any load on the two steel posts
