Best Of

Hi @DEBSC - so very sorry to read about your daughters dog. I remember how we felt some 14 months ago now.... it's heartbreaking. Our thoughts are with you all....

Anyone fed up with the World Cup yet?🤣

The ladies have left me in charge again (big mistake) as they have gone to the Craft fair at the village hall and taken our neighbour with them to help her get out and about again.

Horrible jobs this morning. Renewing Motorhome insurance, renewing National Trust membership. A heavy month especially after the roof repairs.

The weather is currently having a break between downpours. Nice of it.

Have an enjoyable weekend folks.

The roofer has still not started in the [alleged] 'sunny Kingdom of Fife' where the weather changed yesterday from bright sunshine 1 minute to torrential downpour within 300m of our starting our walk to the edge of the Country Park in Kirkcaldy! Good job that the roofer hadn't made a start - when us drowned rats returned 15 minutes later, his advertising heavy duty tarpaulin banner was wrapped around the scaffolding like a ship's furled sail … And I remembered the roofer's text - 'start late May/early June will take us into the better weather and help us to finish the job quicker' - 'aye, that'll be right', as Glaswegians are wont to reply to such optimism that stretches credulity to the limits of elasticity … 😁

There's always next week … or the one after that, etc etc!

@DEBSC our son and family have a Cavachon too, Barney. We are his ‘sitters’ and he’s often here when they go away. @DSB she looks a really cute little puppy, I’m sure she will keep you busy; when we have Barney we always enjoy the peace and quiet when he goes home!😂

Day 2 of the Scafflder & Roofer 'no show' …; allegedly, the scaffolder forgot that yesterday was a Bank Holiday and schools were off, so impromptu childminding was the order of the day … If we used to send them up chimneys, surely kids on scaffolding is an improvement? - out in the fresh air, and it's just like the Climbing Frame in the Park … Just need some lateral thinking 😁

I bet my OH could run a washing machine “cycle” on that contraption @nelliethehooker I often threaten to hook him up😁

Going to have a serious word with Mrs One about where she disposes of wine corks as SIL found one wedged behind the cutlery drawer 🤣

Peanuts @marchie. We currently have a couple of roofers pounding away on top of the house and that's going to set me back a fair bit more. It's all relative.😪
