Gone Fishin`

Hello I`m back!

Today is a lovely day. Both weatherwise and and peaceful too. Hubby Jim has gone to his first fishing competion today and believe it or not he has won not one, but two trophies! The first for winning the entire competition and the second for catching the biggest fish. I`m really proud of him too.  He was on the phone just a little while ago and was really over the moon.  He will be presented with the trophies after dinner tonight. Now , considering that after six years of fishing (he was a late starter) and boring me to death with his "one that broke the line/got away" stories, he really does have something to sing about.

Kerry (daughter) and hubby Slava have moved to a new flat just 2mins walk from here. I did think she would be on the doorstep all the time but so far so good (we love her really!). Tomorrow whilst walking Hannah(labrador) I will be popping in for coffee.  It really is a nice little flat with lots of light coming in. It has a communal garden, the flats look like houses from the outside and the windows overlook the fields. So it is really nice,quiet and private. They have security cameras at night and the secrectary of the neighbourhood watch lives downstairs. He introduced himself while we were moving them in. He is rather like a retired major and seems a very nice man.  I think they will be happy living there.

I would like to report something about No1 and only son Danny. But as hes temporarily not speaking to me( for reasons unknown to me! It happens a lot) theres not much to tell !

Am I the only one thinking how the nights seem to be drawing in?  The air is feeling slightly damp at night, which to me always signals the end of summer. Mind you, I quite like autumn, ita a very pretty season and you still get some lovely warn, even hot days.  We nearly always get good weather for our jolly in Dorset in the second week of September so I`m hoping for the same this year. Which reminds me , I must get Jim to get a case down from the loft so I can start sorting out what I need to pack. Going away in England you do have to make sure you have the right sort of clothes for all weathers and temperatures.  I have promised to cut back on my clothes this year and I really have been ordered to take no more than four pairs of shoes as the usual six is far to many for a week says my lord and master.  Huh what does he know anyway!!!

I shall be off now to sort out some piccies that I will post on my next entry. Jim puts them all on disk and I cant find them anywhere. So for now, Bye, but I`ll be back.
