Piddling down here
I'm going to the dentist in a while then taking Paul for more scans.
Hope you all have a good day.

Morning jenny pass the sun along please. Especially Dave and Helena's way they need it then rain tonight for the turf when its down.
Another busy day of you having workmen coming and going I bet you will be glad when its all finished.
Hope you have a stress free day too.

Morning Lynne. I hope you keep the sun but only if we can have some please. it is trying to get out here.
Good luck with the shopping. I should do upstairs today too but not sure if I will.

Morning Jenny. Sorry you have rain.
Good luck at the dentist and with Paul's scans.

Morning all

It is cold and dreary here, don't worry about wishing summer away Lynn, I think we had it last couple of weeks!

I managed to get the caravan home in one piece, met a transit van almost where I met the tractor and got stuck on the mud, harder to get going uphill, rolled back a few feet and all was well. I need to book it in to have the other side done later this year.

It was gone over with a damp metre and pronounced a lovely sound van although it's 13 years old now. It is in better shape than the super swish van it was parked next to, that was only 16 months old!

The chap who worked on it got talking dogs as he has a Saluki. Just got to get the gate back on, I must have been full of adrenalin as I couldn't even pick it up last night!

I am working this afternoon and the rest of the weekend, should be quieter if this weather keeps up. It's a shame because there is a fundraising event on and a Food Festival.

Have a good day all.

Morning Gerri. That was good news about the van.
I bet your heart stopped for a minute when yo got stuck and started slowly rolling back.
Good luck with the gate.
I was thinking maybe we will get a late summer. That would be nice.
Don't work too hard and I hope the weather picks up for the food festival but then that means you will be extra busy so maybe not such a good idea.

Am used to it by now madmare. Mixed feelings about it - obviously you want people who are having their annual holiday to have a good time. I just wonder if some of them 'carry on like that' at home? Downstairs door (one nearest my car) is also jammed shut now - that's a regular for the summer too. Stupid owners don't give them enough keys for it and every year some idiot tries to jam it open or force the handle when up and down to the pool. You find bits of wood jammed in it, bits of credit card or cardboard - to stop it closing properly so their kids can run up and down at will. Deep breaths Pat all will be serene by end Aug and I've got my own 'secret weapons' coming in August and GOD HELP anyone who dares to complain about them lol!

I now always CRUSH the pills between two spoons. The resulting powder then stirred into the pilchard or mixed in a dob of butter - no probs. Everything crossed that your car SAILS thro' the MoT! Only have to have it done every two years here!

She must have spotted that comment on screen - she just dragged herself off it and out into the sunshine! Much cooler inside today - which is why I am dragging my heels about going out again!

Mostly English who come over - lots of them Brit Cyps who have family still in Cyprus. Basically whatever their nationality it is those who think a POOL and ALCOHOL are a good combination that cause probs in the night times. I sometimes almost wish they'd drown their stupid selves! Ooops did I say that?

Things can always get worse but let's hope in your case they improve! I'd be wishing Sept. would hurry along too in your place right now. Had a few years of the self employed OH myself and remember never really relaxing about bills and the juggling involved. However it was me that did all the worrying and the sums. He was blissfully happy in his ignorance about it all!

Well you've got a 'medical' style day ahead of you. Don't envy you the Dentist definitely not! Hope all goes smoothly.

I should put my clobber back on and hotfoot it down to the Port and pay these dratted commons. One of the reasons I'm putting it off is because I DO have complaints to make about the lack of regular maintenance here and with the now jammed door downstairs I have one more thing to MOAN ABOUT dagnammit. Pool lights aren't working either but I am wondering if that's a good thing as when illuminated it might seem more attractive to idiots during the night? Unless they are the sort of idiots who think it will be good fun to take a load of blimming candles down there (yes - that has happened and the pool was then covered in floating wax globules!)

I want to be bang up to date by Tuesday lunchtime. Before finance bod arrives so I can concentrate on that rubbish. I need to be quite precise about dates money will go into Cypriot account so I can TAKE IT OUT IMMEDIATELY and stuff it up the leg of my drawers. There's NO WAY I'm leaving more than a few hundred quid in a Cyprus bank now or in future! I will probably go guard the bank myself until I can withdraw it!

Want to ask him if I can have it paid into my UK bank instead this time. I can get Jen to bring some over and sort the rest myself when over for the wedding.

*Drives all thoughts to do with filthy money out of her head and determines to get out and get on with more mundane things!

Pat the holiday makers sound dire not sure I'd be able to cope with that haha.

LL good luck with the cars mot.

Today's the day I move out but degree results published at 9am which I'm a bit worried about!

Morning all, last day of my hols today, will be home tomorrow to see my little girl

Hope all is well with everyone , have a good day folks xx

Got an email about my degree results..... They aren't publishing them till the afternoon. Arg.

Also spent all week cleaning my damn room and just kicked over my coffee which was on the floor by mistake. Know I shouldn't really have left it there but usually manage to without doing it! Had a seriously good go at it, and don't think it's going to stain. Nightmare!

Morning Emmis . Good luck with moving out and the degree results.

Morning Jackie have you mixed feelings today ? I bet you can't wait to get back to see Millie but are loath to leave the relaxed lifestyle and lovely weather. Assuming you had nice weather of course.
Safe journey home and I bet Millie will be beside herself to see you.


And breeeeeathe.

Pat good luck down at the whatchamecallmeit if you decide to brave it.

Just had a very sedate walk round the field and up the lane. Dillon had a couple of canters and a couple of trots and then plodded for the rest of the walk.
He is now laying in the garden not that its very pleasant here looks like it might rain.
I have a load of washing in too.

Good luck with the dentist Jenny, and with Paul's scans.
