Good Morning Early Birds!

[waterboatman]

Wednesday. Woke up an hour ago, couldn't get of the kip again, so been doing odd jobs about the place. Doesn't look any different!
Going to annoy the shopkeepers in Wotton-under-Edge today. There's a shop there that is the only place I know that sells what I want. Might have lunch in The Royal Oak while I'm there, not been in there for a while. In fact the last time was with Vera.
Have a happy day everyone.

Morning All the rain has finally stopped, went into Leicester yesterday and got some serious shoplifting done, I go in on the bus which limits me as to what I can buy, which is no bad thing. Barometer rising again and looks bright all be it a bit chilly.

they said it would be clear but chilly today, i hope they are right after the weather we have had here in the capital.

Good morning everybody.

[waterboatman]

Morning tony. My barometer is up a tad, I'd like it to go a bit higher!

[waterboatman]

Morning paddy.

[TonyV]

Well, was predicted that we would get the end of the hurricane, cant remember its name, just need my screw fix order to arrive later today, then going to take Jen shopping, Its her mums and daughters birthday later in the month so presents need buying, Jens mum will be 80 and her daughter 40 so both landmark birthdays.

[waterboatman]

Good to see jen improving tony.

[waterboatman]

I'm going to make as move. some things to do before I venture out into this unaccustomed sunshine.

Have a happy day everyone.

Yes had a bit of a frank conversation yesterday ref appealing the DWP's decision which got heated, but all is well now and whilst I was out gave Jen a chance to go through paperwork, and when I got home she was more positive about the appeal. Poor people on Isle of Man got the worst of the storm judging by pics I've just seen on TV.

If I had a spare 750k perhaps, ummmm - it will take 300 to 450 todo it up (and the gardens) - the house needs pulling back to its bones - and there are a couple of features to be revealed like Georgian fireplaces. The rest would go to using the footfall of an old building at the back to build some more rooms and I would also add a large orangerie off the kitchen, using a garden dividing wall on one side and then in steel and glass.... As to attachment, I didn't grow up here and I effectively left home just as I turned 17.

DTC sounds like house is a project in waiting for someone.

[DTCwordfan]

very much a good do-me-upper - the recent structural survey for the buyers showed that there was nothing fundamentally wrong with the house, so that was good news - strip back, rewiring and plumbing and I would go for some reconfiguration of bathrooms and around the kitchen/pantry area - opening the pantry up into the kitchen area like those glass cheese shops in farmer-stores as there are some wonderful slabs in there.

Any way, better be dashing, things to be done (understatement) and have a goodd day, all

Santiago de Chilé? Seriously? I'm hoping to be there in 2021 as part of my honeymoon.

Have you been up San Cristobal Hill yet?
