Here we go again

This is turning into a bit of a regular thing to do on a Saturday. Mainly, I guess, that this is the day that I have time to post updates on here.

So what news?

House first - the roofers have finished!!! About bloody time.
This means that the regular builders are back.
This week they've given us a floor to our new bedroom and insulated the new roof.
Dave the Brick and Terry have been busy building up wall bits on our shed and other outbuildings, ready for a new roof on those.
We came home yesterday to find many panes of glass stacked up in the new lounge. Strictly, I think that they're called cartridges. They're the double glazed bits that fit in the frames.
The scaffold is due to come down next week, so it should really start looking like a house again.

Talking of new builds, you may be interested in TOM's place across the channel.
He has sent me a few photos of it, but I forgot to save them and they've disappeared into the ether.
This one is of outside though and demonstrates that ma mere is still very much into plants!



We're due to go out there in about 5/6 weeks for a long weekend, Both of us much looking forward to it.

Other news............

WW is in danger of becoming a Travian widow at the moment. Last night was a prime example. There was about five of us (all grown men and should no better) all on-line at the same time, plotting and scheming to try and prevent one of our alliance getting attacked by an enemy. One of them even phoned me up to check on the plans!!! (I'm talking about you Mr Blighty, sir!)
Definitely need to reign in on this particular hobby. It's becoming an obsession.

The weather has definitely turned a corner. It's a bit wet and miserable. This means that the car gets a lot dirtier. So, that's this afternoon's job.

Right I'll leave you to it.
