My friend N moved house today. This isn’t relaxingat the best of times, but this was harder work than usual, because she had a house ten minutes walk along a rough path from the nearest parking space. It’s times like that when it’s good to have friends, and there were five of us, including Helen and Theresa who brought their van. Thank goodness that included two blokes, because I really…
Stretching his wings
Well my son’s gone off on a school trip for twelve days around four of the Canary Islands. It’s a bit nerve-wracking letting him loose, but it’s time for him to stretch his wings a bit. And you know, it’s rather niceto tidy up the living room and expect it to stay tidy.
Canary Day is Coming
Friday is Canary Day. It’s a big thing here, and the celebrations have started already. On Wednesday evening they had bouncy castles in the port car park. This was shortly followed by a foam machine.

We were both wondering what the nozzle was for. And then they started squirting foam out…
Scratch Photo Studio
It’s getting busy around here. On Friday, my son leaves on a 12-day trip round four of the Canary Islands to mark the end of primary school. Since he’s just grown out of all his clothes again, this meant a frantic shopping spree.
