THE EYESORE OF A BLACK "BUNGALOW" IS DEMOLISHED AND THE NEW BUILD IS ABOUT TO START |
At the moment I'm too traumatised to go into detail about unhelpfullness of the local planning department. Suffice to say that I ended up putting in an official complaint which was NOT upheld (now there's a surprise). With the country in such a perilous financial state you would think they would ease the process and get money moving, but no, they are bunch of total tossers.
When I feel in a "safer" place, as in I don't want to piss them off too much until the house has been built, I'll tell the full story. Warts and all.
The new house will be home for my granddaughter and her delightful family. It will be wonderful to have them living nearby.
In the meantime, life goes on. Well it does for me anyway, but not my poor car! It got sick this week and I have reluctantly decided that it's not worth spending £2000 to fix her up when she is only worth £4000! Poor old girl. I loved her to bits. But unfortunately cars, like pets, don 't live forever. So this week I take delivery of a beautiful glossy black Audi A4 saloon with only 14,000 miles on the clock and a host of bells and whistles. I freaked out the salesman by saying that it would probably last longer than me. He didn't know how to respond and dealt with it by saying nothing. I wish I could learn that skill. In my case, what goes through the head comes out the mouth. and unfortunately it's usually total bilge.
And I'm writing this total bilge because I can't be bothered to do my christmas cards. But, hey ho, I'd best crack on. But before I go tell me this and tell me no more, why does Christmas come so early each year now? And, while I'm on the subject, where have the long hot summers gone to? OK! OK! I'll shut up. I'm off now - TaTa xxxx.

Christmas comes at the same time every year 25th of December, it is because you lead such a busy life that it comes on you so quick. And you really need to get your cards done cos after this weekend you wont be here.
Have a lovely lovely holiday, and a lovely,and peaceful Christmas
See you next year
