Firstly, thank you so much for all the comments – but what happened to Pornflakes and Soddages?? I’ve been checking regularly and there’s nothing new, yet you post gems such as today’s Nea activities on a mere ‘comments’ page on Upside downs! We all listened / read agog to those ones, and it’s all priceless stuff, should be on your own site, not as an appendage! Of course, it’s all to my advantage as when I get my ‘diary ‘ printed in a month or so I’ll have all those comments there – but it’s classic stuff!


Boring day on the face of it but seemed quite full from this end. Seemed to get off to a slow start despite waking up early (6:30 as usual I think but then there was at least an hour and a half’s play before breakfast, stories read and imaginary, with nothing but a cup of tea to stimulate one so you can imagine)- first thing we had to do was go to the library (as per usual Saturday routine huge pile of books and CDs to exchange – god libraries are great things)- then very hurriedly on to the storage place we’ve chosen for our Stuff from the garage… already very late by this point. Whole rigmarole of signing in, picking up key, checking the place out, stuff like that, and taking the trailer back home. Clunk clunck clunk. Then as we unhitch it I unscrew something and let it drop inappropriately on the floor (seemed no harm in doing so) and loose screws and things tumble promptly down the grated storm drain. So out come the long barbecue tongs and the rubber gloves – luckily, it wasn’t very hard to retrieve the item but you know. Then loading up the trailer with the spare bed and all the pictures and so on (not about to put them up in House number 2) and all the spare bedding and clothes that would normally have lived in the attic when not needed – turned into a full trailer very quickly, and we carted it off to the storage facility presto. Gave trailer back, came home reheated pizzas from last night (rather nice actually – I think I ought to have a page of Pizza toppings in the food blog – I wonder if other people can contribute..) - then after a short recovery period down to the beach. Usual scenario of me doing laps and the Mr and Littles playing in the sidelines – however later the Mr did some laps and increased his fitness regime by doing 4 laps rather than 2. After nipping down very briefly to the supermarket for emergency supplies of juice and milk, back home cook dinner (chorizo paella), and then dancing around to Johnny Cash and that’s about our lot.

… Thanks very much for the call, W&W – just been chatting away, very nice to speak to you. Anyway I think that’s about enough news for the moment, lots of love, V xxxx
