Excellent News!

Great news, Kerry and Slava have got the house. The owner has accepted their offer and with luck they should move in about 6 weeks time. They are both over the moon and can`t wait to move away from their flat and their noisy and inconsiderate neighbours. In a couple of weeks Jim and I are going with them to visit the house and I`ll take a couple of photos so you can see how nice it is.

I went back to work today to find out that I`ll be working outside for a couple of months. I don`t mind too much but the reason for it is another thing and I`m not at all happy with that. Of course I can`t go into detail here but time will tell and I think I`ll be back inside before too long. As it`s Summer I`ll make the most of working with the plants for now, and as for the person who`s doing my job...do I wish him well?   I`ll say no more!

Jim was showing Roman some photos this evening, some of which were of him as a baby. Even though he recognised everyone else he couldn`t understand that the baby in the photos was Roman. He kept saying " No, Nana...baby, not Roman!"  Bless him, I know he`ll understand eventually. Just recently he`s started drinking from a `proper` cup without a lid and he has a straw instead. This evening while downstaairs with Jim he managed to pour his milk all over the carpet...it never happens when I`m with him...as Roman says " Silly Grandad!"

Anyway, the main reason I posted tonight was to let you know about Kerry`s new house. I`m just so happy for them as they`ve worked hard for this and it`s not easy for young people to get on the property ladder these days. I`ll say goodbye now and I hope you all have a nice evening.

 

 

Thanks Lisa Jo for this great tag
