Family matters

Angie & John came up and stayed with Mum and Dad at the weekend, popping in to see us on Saturday evening for an hour. It's was real nice to see Angie as she's not stopped by the last few visits, but, with her hand as badly damaged as it is I'm not now surprised. What's more, I'm amazed that she continues to work but like she says, it's her right hand that's damaged and she is left handed.

Earlier in the month John emailed me some pictures of his new home, which he acquired on the cheap and which he has had to put some effort into to get it habitable before winter gets here. But he's done it and the pictures (before and after) take some seeing to believe. Fully rewired and replumbed inside, it now needs just a little cosmetic work on the inside to finish it off, but he's well pleased and has every right ot be so. What's more, we are all pleased for him as his last few years have been spent in cold and draughty accomodation so this is a definite turn for the better. However, I still hope we don't get the severe winter the UK Met Office have predicted - mind you, they didn't predict the summer right so why should we expect them to do better with winter?
