First Day Sunshine

I cut the very wet long grass on Thursday, leaving lumps of cut grass all over the lawn and spent Friday morning trying to tidy it all up, as we were out to dinner in the evening. It looked much better after the clear-up.
Just as we went out to meet friends at the Thai Orchid in Banbury, it started to rain again. Thanks to my blue disabled badge we were able to park outside the restaurant and we were joined by 18 others and we proceeded to enjoy our first Thai meal since Bankok. It was lovely and the meal included half bottle of wine each so we had a joyful dinner. Drove home OK and were soon in a warm dry bed.
Steve has completed the division of the garage and now we have a utility room 8x12 and a smaller workshop 8x7 for my tools etc. All we need now is some dry weather to enable me to get rid of unwanted stuff we still have in various boxes. On Monday we hope to travel down to West Sussex to help Steve "house-sit" for Fay and Pete Hayes, who are holidaying in Protuglar, the well known spelling mistake, as Pete and son Jonathan are keen golfers and both want to improve their game. We will be there for the rest of the week if anyone wants to join us!
PS we moved in here two years ago on 12th September 2006 and Pete and Jan have been married 20 years! G&G
