NEW WINDOWS & SIDE GARDEN

Got new windows! Just need to sort the planning out and get rid of the velux and turn it into a dorma...


Mr 'Jobs to do' aka Ross has nearly finished his secret side garden at the front - Yes I did help I even have pictures to prove it of me weilding a circular saw wearing eye and ear protectors. If anyone can be bothered to register to comment then you could let me know (Hint).

MY 1 WINDSURFING PICTURE

Well our instructor came up trumps and sent the picture of us in Dahab. Here is the only one of me that he took (must have been off playing in the distance the rest of the time - or too fast for him to catch me!) Still can't blame him he was hung over (mind you he was every day of the week so that shouldn't matter). I have the requested the original so shall show it to you again!!!

WINDSURFING

Sorry its a naff action picture! Here is Gavin and I windsurfing in Egypt on the Tandam (man its hard to organise two sails on one board). Sorry its not a better picture but it was a disposable camera and all the better ones are like a pin on the horizon.

I'm the one at the back (the novice compared to the experienced windsurfer at the front and yet I had a bigger sail to manage and got on the board last - must be a pro in the making - NOT)

Went windsurfing today whilst Ross worked SO SO hard in the garden - now I feel bad he can hardly walk!

GOT ROSS ON A BOAT!!!

So after planting all of that lot we took a trip on a boat to Hamble - well as you can see its not a proper boat and unfortunately doesn't run after 6pm which is a shame as Hamble has a few nice restaurants - still it is only 15 mins by car.

Picture 2 shows lots of floating caravans - you'd think they would all be out on them as they cost so much to keep!

And Whilst I was gone...

And whilst I was gone someone had made a secret garden at the front of the house - all rotovated and fencing put up. Here comes the 'Good Life' its going to be a vegetable plot - self sufficent or what!

So I thought that I should at least help with the planting (yes there are plants in it - hundreds of them but they are only babies - have to you seen the cost of grown up ones?)

BACK FROM BEING A BEACH BUM IN EGYPT!

A quick view of the beach:


And just to bore you look at all the exciting kit that we had to choose from...

Sorry no action shot (we're hoping that they are going to be e mailed on to us - shall bore you if I get them! Otherwise Kate Craven is happy to be dragged to the beach here to take pictures of me)

A TRIP TO SPINNAKER TOWER WITH LOU

A little day trip to Portsmouth and you have to see the sights once (here's Lou walking over the glass floor - she wasn't that sure about it though!)


Here is a view of very dark clouds and Gosport marina.

Be prepared to be bored by windsurfing pictures in a week Gavin!

WHAT DO YOU ALL DO IN THE EVENING?

Come on own up - who goes out after dinner at eight o clock to do a spot of weeding so the neighbours don't think that we aren't looking after the place (honestly if you saw the rest of it this is our ONLY looked after flower bed!)

Still haven't got very far with the fireplace but we have just been away for a week and then me a couple of days on the boat, still only a week then I'm off to Egypt windsurfing for a week while Ross enjoys the peace and quiet at home and writes more of his book.

Thats all for now, shall bore you all with windsurfing pictures in a couple of weeks.

Oh yeh Lou - your ceiling is plastered and painted, wallpaper stripped, walls filled - CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO COME AND PAINT THE REST OF IT NEXT WEEK!

Stop laughing Jay you'll have to do the same when we get onto yours!
