Today I shall be Mainly...

[Stanley]

Wrote an article yesterday but Talktalk email is having a brain fart. Not sure if it has reached Nelson yet...
Exciting stuff in the shed, valve setting today!

[Sue]

All done in Anglsey. The Estate agent has been and is very impressed with the improvements. He reckons we could get at least £100 per week more than we were getting for renting before. The weather has been glorious for two days. I managed to tidy the garden and Bob mended the shed. All carpets and flooring went down today. We are pleased with the result.


Off to France for a week now, for our first trip if the year. Tree planting I think.

[Stanley]

It's all go Sue......
06:30. All my jobs done, we've inspected the town on a frosty foggy morning and now we are off into the shed......

[Wendyf]

Having a day out at the Registry of Deeds in Wakefield, researching the water mill site in Earby. Leaving Colin decorating....I only get in the way if I try to help!

[Marilyn]

Wait for me, Wendy!
I'm coming with you!
I will just grab my list of stuff I need to look up...

[Wendyf]

See you there Maz....make sure Febby doesn't attempt any DIY while you are away!

[Wendyf]

Just in case you can't make it, is there anything I can look up for you if I get a spare few minutes? I need a property owner and an approximate date of purchase to be able to start working backwards...

[Sue]

Today I gave my talk to Todmorden U3A

MY CONVICT ANCESTORS A GENEALOGICAL JOURNEY


I believe there were over 100 in the room. I really enjoyed it but was a little apprehensive. It seemed to go down well.

Our Anglesey cottage photos. I don't know if the link will work Liz.

[PanBiker]

Your link works OK for me Sue, it looks very nice

[Wendyf]

Looks lovely Sue.

[Sue]

Unfortunately we will have to rent it out. We do love the cottage but needs must.

[LizG]

What a gorgeous place. Thanks for taking the time to share the photos.

[Sue]

No problems Liz. I shall leave the pictures available for a few days only for security reasons

[Sue]

We put in new stairs, new kitchen, new bathroom, in some cases new walls as plaster tended to fall off as I was painting. There were some new windows, new carpets and flooring in the bathroom and kitchen. We had floors levelled and insulated layers put in the kitchen and added central heating and converted a corner cupboard into an airing cupboard. Every room was redecorated. 5 months work in total, spending a couple of days a week there. I think I will desist from decorating for a bit now. However I do for see a nice Easter weekend in Anglesey , even if we will have to use camp beds and sleeping bags.

[Stanley]

The link works fine for me too Sue. Looks absolutely splendid....



I did some overtime last night and my engine is finished and back on the sideboard. I put compressed air on it and it runs lovely. Plenty in my head for the shed.....

[LizG]

Picked up a big trailer of horse poo for the garden. All spread under the fruit trees. I was the support person(!), funny what makes people happy.

[Stanley]

Taking it very easy after yesterday!

[Stanley]

Doing very little, very slowly......

[Cathy]

Sounds good Stanley, always follow what your body tells you it needs and it will thankyou for it by getting better
(your words or similar from way back)

[Stanley]

I think you're right Cathy. Too early in the morning to take an informed view but all the signs at the moment are that I am improving so I might be doing the right things.... Will carry on doing the same until I have evidence to the contrary!
Could be a good time to write articles......

[Stanley]

Wrote an article.... could be more because I'm still looking after myself.

[Sue]

Bob has hurt his back, I have yet another cold and here we are in France with over a 100 small trees and bushes to plant with only 4 days to do it in.

[Stanley]

Oh Dear.... You need a couple of strong young people......
Writing articles.... I fancy the shed but I'm restraining myself!

[Sue]

None round here I am afraid. All elderly or toddlers!
