The 2008 story thus far
Steve has quite rightly pointed out that squatters might move in anytime soon….. needless to say therefore, that time has been a scarce property over the last couple of months. Work is back in 6th gear after, well, NO break over Christmas. There has been a lot of rain around in January which continues to raise the profile of the flooding problem in the UK. The problem needs sorting out, and we’ll do our best to solve it.
‘Spare’ time has been spent on the house. It has been a great first 3 months in Ewell, and we have thoroughly enjoyed owning our own house. Furniture is slowing arriving, with the bed, 2nd bedroom furniture and the dining room furniture in place. We are STILL awaiting our sofa’s and we continue to make use of the £8 ASDA camping chairs. Luckily we don’t have any time to watch the telly so it hasn’t made that much of a difference. The couches better arrive we before we fly to SA……. carpets are also in, and the main bedroom has been painted from head to toe so the two bedrooms are now complete. Wooden floors are next (hopefully also before we leave) with the long term project of the bathroom to follow in the summer. I am becoming a DIY machine. More by force than by choice!
Liverpool’s season continues to stutter (lose to Barnsely then beat Italian champions Inter Milan in the space of days - go figure?), and the Sharks have started the Super 14 in unconvincing style - the final score is all the matters though and a win is a win. South Africa are struggling in Bangladesh, whilst the administration of Cricket South Africa go out of their way to self implode in the identical manner to the South African Rugby Union did with the Luke Watson saga. It’s incredible how genuinely inept these administrators are. Phenomenal show of stupidity by Norman Arendse. It’s ALMOST funny.
Sarah has continued on her mission to arrange the wedding of the century, which I have no doubt it will be. The response from overseas invitees has been fantastic and we can’t wait for the big day. It is going to be awesome, for the obvious reasons, but also just to see everyone and catch up over one or two icy colds hansa’s. 3 weeks until we leave…..
