    It is lovely,and so relaxing.

    You know that feeling, when you've been on holiday and need another holiday to recover? Well there was none of that. Came back so thoroughly relaxed. The second time I went there on a working holiday and spent a week white washing walls! But the afternoons were free time, and the holiday cost was minimal.

    I went back twice too - and I *never* did that when I had money!

    Wilkinsons still not here ... rats! OTOH, I *have* got all the ordinary recycling together for tomorrow - wow, I've scanned a *lot* of journals :rotfl: plus some stuff for the tip, plus the stuff ready to be shredded, plus some actual, y'know, cleaning. I've heard of it, but not done it for a while :rotfl:tho now I may kill the vacuum cleaner in trying to get the rest of the place clean :rotfl: actually, I can't do too much more, my fingers are hurting. Great excuse, hey?

    Thanks! **beams happily** I even used the woodfiller, and bagged *another* bag of green waste :) and Wilkinsons is *still* not here - genuine grrrrr this time, tho there's still almost 2.5 hours to go today. Ah well. Really am stopping the physical stuff now, and its *hot* out there, close, like a thunderstorm is due ... hmmm. Maybe I won't have to water the back tonight :)

    Anyway, if its not physical work, it must be scanning. After I finish my coffee :D

    ** beams happily again **

    My Wilkinsons order got here, and its all present and correct, outside stuff sitting in the back garden - which looks like the municipal tip itself at the moment :p

    Busy day there KC. It must be the sunshine but you sound so full of energy. I agree when the fingers and hands start hurting it is time to stop. No use in pushing on and spoiling tomorrow.

    Still loving that place, I think I need to put it onto my MUST do list. Feel like I could do with something like that right now actually
