The Wood Man Cometh

Hey YEH, I have had a telephone call, not unusual but this was different....the carpenter wanted to know if was ok to come and put the balcony up next week.....OK...OK...OK? of course its ok, why wouldn't it be? We have only waited for 5 MONTHS and after the beams just turned up why wouldn't it be OK? Of course as usual i was really nice on the phone and said that it would be great to see him again! Now i hope that he does actually turn up, he did say that he had been on holiday for 15 days and had just come back so was planning his agenda for the next couple of months! Like what happened to the last 5 months?

The cat is out mousing again and to cap it all i have a snake living in the barn! Bloody great, i tried to catch it the other day to move it out but it went into a hole in the wall. So now i have a 3 foot snake living in the walls of the barn and i don't know where it is anymore! I am not to keen on snakes as you may already know but luscious really does not like them at all! So now i have a quandary, she doesn't know that there is one in the barn, do i tell her? which means i will have to clear everything out in an attempt to catch it, what if i don't see it while emptying it out? OR do i hope that when she is in the barn that she never sees it? perhaps if i stand talking to the wall and asking it to leave us that would work? If luscious sees me talking to the wall she will just assume that the medication isn't strong enough and increase the dose!
i need a glass of wine to help me think about this..........

    After the carpenter finishes the balcony, ask him to have a look at the whole in the wall of the barn.

    Mandy: I am hoping that it will go away, go to the barn for everything? think luscious would suspect something as she normally goes in there to chop up the wood ready for winter as i work on the house! I keep my fingers crossed that a) she doesn't see it b) the carpenter shows up as we have guests in september and the balcony would make getting into the 3rd bedroom so much easier than a ladder!

    emmanuel: Now that could be a good idea!

    Where women are concerned I am a great believer in the old adage, "What the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve over." It probably applies to snakes as well.
