But the girl I like the best.....

Still Maxey.
Well, what a turn up for the books, Hazel felt better this morning and is much more comfortable at present, let's hope this is a trend. I managed to clear more than ten logs this morning thanks to a run of logs in the same area and my list is now looking more manageable at last. Also, Hazels doctor completed her various official forms for insurance and DLA this morning so she is now just waiting for money in one case and an allowance in the other. If she gets the allowance, then we will use it to get a car and then, sadly, sell janis.

I hate the girl who says she will and then she says she won't......

Third line.
An interesting weekend, a lot done but not much to show for it.
I went through the house and re-batteried all the clocks and also moved some around for better sightlines. I now have the very elegant clock with Roman numerals above the TV and Hazel finally has a clock in her current bedroom. I also spent some time communing with the bunny. He is beginning to accept me as a friendly being and has sniffed me all over on Saturday. He has even allowed me to touch his back without running away a couple of time now. Sally has a job this week working as a bunny as part of a corporate day here in the university so she is working up an act about her being a stage struck bunny who got a job with a magician and is now fed up with having to spend most of her time on stage inside a top hat. I admit to being biased but it's hilarious. She really should do more stand up.

I like the girls who don't...

Second line etc.
Yesterday the new Kindle arrived for Sally. It had a much later OS than the one that the first two have just upgraded to?????? However, she is over the moon with it as she will be doing a lot of travelling soon and it will keep her sane on the long journeys. Yesterday also, I bought a large rodent cage in order to turn it into a run for the bunny. I thought it was a good idea and so did Hazel. Sally said"It's much too small and I don't want him outside from now on as it's going to be too cold....................". Collapse of parents.

I like the girls who do.....

First line from a Max Miller verse. Second line next time.
Life is just plain hard work at the moment. Both of us are feeling very tired and having to wake early and go to bed later than we want to. We are just killing time until Hazel has her next specialist appointment and, following that, her next Drs appointment.

One third of the wall is done!!!

Still some tarting up to do but now covered in a layer of new render that will be easier to keep clean and won't harbour small animals. It also means that I can set up the wind break and move the bunny hutch over to it's proper position. I will construct a gated doorway in the hutch and then the bunny can move in.
I shall then clean the floor along the rest of the wall and build the bunn runn for Rodney.

You know that feeling.............

Not really depressed, just a trifle, sort of, well ......... widdled off, if you know what I mean. I have spent two days doing repetitive jobs on computers to slight avail. The job I started yesterday has gone a bit sour because I was asked to re-image a PC that shouldn't have been and I can't finish off the main job until we have a decision  about what to do next. So, today, I have been doing some fairly simple jobs on three lectern computers that have required thawing and then freezing again. If you have ever had to do that, you will know why I am so widdled!

Long Weekend

Well, we went to Paignton for the family reunion and drove up in the hired Ford Fiesta once I had taxed the van online, as the new Registration document arrived very early. A very nice car but a trifle small for my taste. For the trip to Torbay and back, it was fine but any longer in such a small car and I think I might have got a bit claustrophobic. Not all the party didn't find it perfect though. Samuel went with us and thought it was brilliant! Mind you, he also enjoyed sleeping on the floor of our room in a sleeping bag because they had run out of family rooms. The sun was deceptively bright on Friday and, playing golf with Samuel, I ended up with a bad case of heat exhaustion. I managed to hold out until Philip and Kristie had left and then retired to bed until the following morning. I caught up with Russ on Saturday but was so tired, I ended up finishing early and falling into bed before ten. By Sunday I felt a lot better and did the taxi run for the whole family in the Fiesta.
