Virgin Media

Folk will be wondering what is happening! Far too much and far too busy but hey ho that's life:

Another trauma down in Austwick - Load of work for ILGA Conference - Electrics sorted - Job - Interviews for Frank - Too many clients - Plans for World AIDS Day - Cardiff Conference - November week in Austwick - Christmas and New Year Arrangement & Visitors - PC problems - Email changes - New Wall!

Don't think I have missed anything! Easy one first this is the picture of our new wall taken from our neighbours side! What a splendid job done by George and his team! It really has been the focus of a great deal of attention and compliments! All very much appreciated! So while mentioning thing down south the latest trauma was the electricity interruption and the freezer turning itself off and destroying the contents! Insurance claim was not easy but posted today so we will see! In cleaning the chest freezer I fell in and wallowed in the stinking mess! No comments on that one thank you! Then problems with overloading my Virgin media email resulting in using the community email for personal friend to contact me. Off to Malta on Wednesday for ILGA Europe Conference so he's hoping it will be as good as the weather forecast!

Dry Stone Walling

While we are getting back to somekind of routine the hard work in Austwick continues with the hedge being removed bewteen Elaine and ourselves, opening the space and the digger going the business ready for the dry stone wall to be built! Anne has been keeping us informed and it sounds a mamoth job that really we should have been there for and making the cups of tea rather than our dear 97 year old!

However it's getting there and I understand there are four deliveries of stone, in fact a local farmer's barn that fell into disrepair but the debris being perfect for our purposes. Also we have begun to think about the bathroom which basically means knocking the upstairs toilet and bathroom into one large space and thinking what we would want to put in there to keep us clean! I think when this all happens we use the holiday technique and come home to the work done!
