Tuesday Morning - Yesterday we were invaded by John the decorator, anurse who took early retirement John now makes a living gardening and decorating. The house already seems brighter. He can't stop whistling and singing all the time, I think they must teach you to whistle at tradesmens school, I should have mentioned before being a nurse he was an electrician. Now he is top all round handyman who can turn his hand to any job. He was whistling the same tune for most of the day which my daughter informs me is a rap by Nelly and Kelly. He also regaled us with songs from "Paint your Wagon." Popstars rival he aint. Ally is off school this week and was very unimpressed with our old man reminiscences of days gone by.
We were visited at lunchtime by Sandra Bagnall and Emma Knox from the matchworks. Emma is newly married and is off to Las Vegas and Hawaii for her honeymoon next week. Despite my natural aversion to wedding photographs she managed to get me to look at a packet full. After lunch Kate Powell sent me the URL for her wedding photos, another 10 minutes of delight spent surfing them.
Off to B&Q in the evening for extra provisions and more home improvements. Amazed at how far I can walk around the store - managed the complete store. Purchased some new trainers for the gym and pair of boots.(from the shoe store not B&Q).
Had some shepherds pie for tea, a real unaltered ready meal, and kept it down. Visited in the evening by Jenny, Vaughan, Thomas and Kathryn from Market Harborough which is a small town in rural Leicestershire. Jenny is a very keen blog follower and will be delighted to see her name mentioned here.
