Just as I was about to post the laptop did a "thing" and I lost everything!
So come on in everybody, Igor is at the door waiting to gather up all your coats and cloaks and broomsticks so he can hide them all over the Towers.
Queenie sends her regrets, she won't be joining us this evening her dad has taken her to a speedway meeting to cheer her up a bit
The Tailcock for tonight is the "Sunny Evening"
The hot plate special tonight is a Toad in the Hole with onion gravy (Frank the minion went on a toad hunt and every one he caught went into tonight's dish) as always there are the world famous, volly vonts, horses doovers and canopies and on our pudding trolley there we have a tarte tatin with whipped cream.
The Minstrels have got in again and they are already up in the gallery playing their madrigals and toccattas. For members wishing to dance we have engaged the services of the Wilf Bumstead Swing Band and they will be playing down in the Ball Room. All our usual entertainments are available to members, the indoor pool, the bungee, hot tub, and library are all open to members and as we are now into warmer weather and lighter evenings we have opened up te gardens and grounds for members wishing to explore the Towers surroundings, we have even cleared the paths leading down to the beach, and although the water is a tad on the cold side it is still very pleasant to sit and watch the sun set.
For the rofl I offer:
1 defunct washer dryer
1 defunct chest freezer
1 defunct upright freezer (they all died at once)
Packaging from replacement freezer and washer (an expensive week! we may eat again sometime in August)

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

My apologies Pixie, like I said we've had one heck of a week and I've overdone a few things over the past two days
I've been called tony and psybbo so far.


I knew I should have worn a different outfit !.
nungate, what have you been over doing.
Did apologise sibs as soon as I realised.

Well there was the hunt for the replacement "white goods" for example, now as I seldom venture too far from home it was quite difficult as I'm not as mobile I once was, so I trekked around a few large stores, had lunch out and then another trek or two round a supermarket - usually have shopping delivered or send best beloved, then there was the "bed saga" to add to things
Madame was also out and about again today too! I'm thankful she can just sit and be a gracious hostess this evening, Mr N has left her in my care and he said I wasn't too let her do too much
Right, I see, nungate, traipsing round shops can be tiring.
Do tell about the 'bed saga'. Daisy, just teasing xx
Mr N has left her in my care and he said I wasn't too let her do too much


Good man, Igor I'm sure your doing your best.
Not a problem, nungate. I hope you've managed to get it sorted? Wasn't it a freezer? Always a nightmare if a washing machine or freezer goes wrong!
Have a fridge freezer, fridge on top of freezer. If I get the temperature right in one it is wrong in the other. Frozen cucumber is gross.

The bed saga. OK you asked for it, seems all a bit silly in hindsight but, ..
When we moved we got rid of a lot of stuff, including an old bed which lived in the spare room, as we didn't plan on using the spare here for a bedroom
but as a room for the cats and for some storage, so we didn't need it. Until now we haven't had houseguests so need need for one, then Lesley invited her friend to stay, and no bed and the room certainly not ready to occupy, (cats in residence) so we spotted this inflatable bed, knowing we had a foot pump somewhere reasonable idea thought we. So, the bed needed inflating yesterday, couldn't find pump, couldn't use an air thing at a garage so off to Halfords - new foot pump and adaptors, problem solved? Oh you think? Our life doesn't work that way. Adaptor didn't work couldn't pump up bed, our sofas are comfy to sit on, not to sleep on! Plan B needed. Remember, we have a Z bed only it's at my mothers so off troops Mr N to retrieve bed from Mum and finally out guest had a bed and a good nights sleep - she'd had a very long day, up since four and on a train by six! She is a pleasure to have in the house though and worth the saga
Know anyone who wants an inflatable bed that doesn't?

Pixie it was two freezers! and a washer dryer all defunct within days!
One freezer went and since we had one that we hadn't needed to use in a while we were able to switch it on and transferred the food to that, but we found out on Easter Sunday we discovered that the replacement freezer also didn't work and what was inside was a slimy smelly mess! Ooh I was vexed! Then the washer repair man told me it would be cheaper to buy a new one than to repair the old one........................silent screaming!
Sounds about right for the rifle!
Oops just spilt my glass, emergency mop up, thanks Igor I could do with Igor here
Madame, I hink you should have a little lie down I'll bring you some camomile tea and a cool cloth for your forehead .............
nungate, the pump that is required for those blow up beds are like a stirrup pump ( still takes ages to blow up though ) I have one in the shed somewhere.
Frank, would you please attend to Madame Sibs while I fetch Madame's camomile tea?
