The Terrace

Had a phone call from our friend in England who is selling the caravan for us, fingers crossed it looks like he has finally succeeded in selling her. That would be good news as it would give us a much needed cash injection as things are a little tight at the moment. Luscious is now working at a local restaurant which gives us the day to day household running money + a little extra so the money from the caravan will be most welcome....

Today was another hot one 28° out of the sun so that not bad eh? Even the cat found it a little warm and instead of laying snoozing in the sun moved to some shade!!! I have been cutting grass again around the area that will eventually be the first outside terrace area and generally getting it ready and marked out so that I know where I need to dig out and level when the mini digger arrives. Hopefully it is booked for the middle of May and I will have it for a couple of days then it will go to a friend to help him dig out his overgrown pond!!! We are splitting the cost between us so that isn't so bad. Retired from work early as it was to hot to dig, well that's my excuse anyway!! Got table out and put up sunshade just so we can see what the terrace might look like when I do eventually finish it! Picture attached, showing back of house still waiting for terrace and the walls to be crepied and the balcony to be fitted. With a good imagination you can see what it will be like by the end of JUNE (this year!) eeeekkkkk only 5 weeks to go and we are away for a week in that time as well!!!!!!!!! arrggghhhhhh.... Busy busy.....
