I should have looked for such a command. Anyway, thanks for saving me the trouble, Julian and Steve. I have now been able to quit Mail!
Today it is raining, which is nice, but as Mum cleaned up the house yesterday, it leaves us with the question ?quo vadis? (or what are we gonna do today)
The family who have just moved in behind us (the five bedroomed house with the fancy balcony fence) have been going like a train since they moved in just before Christmas, - new fencing, ground clearing etc. and have just applied for planning permission to 1. Extend their lounge out about 12 feet; and 2. to extend both rear facing bedrooms out the same distance while adding to each bedroom, large ensuites. It will look very impressive. We know this because the planning officer has sent us a letter, inviting comments. My comment will be " what is happening about the increased amount of surface water being generated by an increased roof space. Are we going to get it all in our garden." I plan to have a chat to see if they will extend the underground downpipe from the house to by-pass our garden and discharge into the culvert at the end of his garden. Any further suggestions?
We had a lovely weekend visiting Steve, Gemma and Clive in their very nice little terraced house in Cowley, paying a flying visit to the West Midlands to wish my sister Lenny a Happy 80th Bithday and joining with the family (inc Will) out to lunch at the Isis Pub by the river at Iffley. This lovely village is unchanged since my courting days - my girlfriend lived in Iffley - and is as charming as ever. We left Cowley on Monday morning for Southampton, where we went into the super duper John Lewis shop in the new West Quay development, but in the end, although spending time looking at the wonderful display of Mac computers and accompanying gear - I bought nothing. Mum bought a blouse. We were home by 4.15pm., having visited Harry Ramsden's in the food hall. Be good. Dad
