Great Aunt Shywoo

In all my excitement of blogging today forgot to add, my niece has had a little girl. I am not even 40yrs old yet and a Great aunt, that really makes you feel old. Still I will have plenty of time to practice being cantankerous!!

Enjoying life

I haven't blogged again for about two weeks as I never seem to know what to write that is going to appeal, though I don't think anyone does actually read this for one minute, well maybe one person who shall remain nameless.
There I go again, it just come out as total waffle. Okay lets get back on track what have I been doing these last two weeks. I have become a labourer, that is to say my partner is the builder and I have been doing the donkey work for him. He got a job re fencing, rendering, building a wall and laying 2 ton of gravel. I have had a great time, demolition seems to be my thing, ripping down and breaking up that old fence was very therapeutic, I also had a go at rendering and pointing out the brick work. Apart from being bloody hard labour, shovelling sand and cement into the cement mixer it was fab and would definitely do it again. On the down side, I seized up completely and was walking as if I was a 100yrs old.
The job has finished and this week we have been relaxing, yesterday went to the pictures and watched ratatouille. Great film, I want one.
Next week Monday am off to home town for three days then going up country to stay with friends so wont be back for week or so, then on 7th Dec am off to the lovely isle that is Fuerturventura for two weeks. Where did i find time to go to the office?

What day am I on

I keep saying this were does time go, I know in my last blog I promised pictures, as yet been unable to get camera out and download photos, just seem still never to have enough time. How did I find time to go to work.
This week though I have been working with my partner, you see let me explain I have left my comfortable desk, at a 9-5 office with a steady income after 6 years of slogging it out daily with all the bitching and back biting and am now a labourer.
Yep all the week been outdoors learning to build walls and putting up fencing, and you know what, why have I never done this before, okay it gets bloody cold at times, but I am outside, not stuck in a stuffy office! I love it.
I suppose really I should mention Bulgarian trip, it was a lovely place and the people seem friendly enough, but the language will be a huge problem. Though saying this we have put a deposit down on a small holding with nearly 3 quarters of an acre of land, it has a vine yard and fruit trees, a garage, a massive barn, a gorgeous courtyard and a two bedroom house with cellar.
It is very picturesque, tucked away in a small village in the Ludgorie Mountains, beautiful undeveloped.....I will post some pictures of this, but this is ideal for developing, the barn is massive and will easily convert to a two bedroom guest house, the land is within regulation so this can also be built on.
I fear I am rambling enough already I get carried away.. the downside the written language so symbols 39 letters in there alphabet....Am looking for lessons, will keep you all posted
