The art was delivered this morning. Iâve spent today and some of yesterday constructing a substantial plinth out of a scavenged pallet, timber, paving slabs (for ballast) and an 8x4 of OSB3 to tidy the outside up. I hope to finish it tomorrow morning and bolt the art to it just in time for the endless rain to start so I wonât be able to paint the OSB3 and make it a bit more water-resistant. Ho hum.
The work was interrupted by my monthly pub lunch with retired colleagues, during which I didnât want to leave the ox on its transit wheels in the unattended front garden. It turns out it does go through my front door, so a fellow pub-tripper and I heaved it carefully into the hallway. It canât really stay there

Looks good in the hallway. You could call the installation Bull on a China floor.

Full marks Graeme, might it be possible to fit laser eyes?

There are two types of lasers. Normal ones, and the sort that Graeme plays with. The latter, when used in ones hallway the morning after a jar or three, may not be be beneficial to the status of Didcot as an ongoing entity.

You will be able to practice your Minoan bull jumping in the comfort of your own home. Roll on next season!

That is an area where Graeme has had some recent experience.
Honestyâs the best policy with nurses.

My front doorâs immediately to the left of the picture. The house is double-fronted, so I could have put him on the other side of it. But Iâd sooner he was staring at my visitors rather than mooning at them.
That is quite adorable and sure to be a talking point locally, expect photos to appear on local Facebook.
I donât do social media but there is apparently a âSpotted in Didcotâ site. I canât stop thinking it sounds like a measles outbreak.

Love this.
If youâve got some old masonry paint leftover, get that OSB covered-up with it, and make the whole thing look a bit less ânick meâ 
I suppose a bull in your front garden is a bit different!
Love this installation by OSGEMEOS -
