Visitors
It's lovely. My two cousins are vising from Birmingham and it's wonderful having the extra 'help'. Charley is nearly 10, and gets ordered round by Myf and followed like a puppy by Tea. And Vicki is 19, soI get someone to talk to and also, lots of help with Piglet who adores her.
And to that end, we've had a tidy up in the living room, blitzed the kitchen and are even seriously considering having a stab at the dining room... drum roll please!
Yesterday we all went to Bradway, courtesy of Sarah who drove all the way from Chesterfield up to Bawtry to collect my extra passenger. Seeing as how the titchy truck only had five seats... oh, all the trucks only have 5 seats now. :(
And speaking of trucks, James has decamped in the titchy truck to take it back and collect the orange one, that is working perfectly on gas but refusing to fire on more than 3 cylinders on petrol; and I finally put the green one in the Autotrader yesterday. Must sell that.
Today's Jax-style to-do list reads:
computer off, laundry out, more into machine, kitchen floor to mop, living room to vacuum, children to chase (although the cousins are doing an admirable job), large pile of 'stuff' to chuck into skip before it's collected this afternoon, guinea pigs to clean out, feed dog, dig out frozen stuff for making lasagne, water toms/chillis/egg plants in greenhouse
Ok, shall stop there and go prepare for James' imminent arrival - he's just collected the orange one from Guy Salmon, and apparently it's running like a bag of nail still. Even on gas. So they lied. Doesn't want to start on petrol, and once it's onto gas it's lumpy and bad tempered and gutless. He's not a happy camper. Duck'n'cover folks.

Dino was impressed with V & C - he wanted to come back and see them again.
BTW - am trying to poach the moon phase thingy and it keeps distorting my pics - how did you do it?
