The Last Edition

Sunday 16 June - Fathers Day

Sorry there was no blog covering last week.  To be honest there really wasn't a great deal going on worth writing about.  Hopefully this week will be better.

Lovely to hear you on the phone this evening and it was nice that Hannah was home too so you could have a chat and it was good that you remembered that it was Fathers Day too.  I received some nice presents which included a couple of books and some sloppy Joe t shirts for loafing around in and a huge Toblerone.  Mum cooked a nice roast for lunch.  In the afternoon we watched the film "The Life of PI" but took a break in the middle while Mum prepared pudding and that was when you rang.  I dropped Han back to the flat at about 9pm and so it was a really nice day.

Veg patch just planted

Monday 17 June

Louisa went home sick this morning.  Busy day in the shop but takings weren't good.

Huge thunderstorm this evening, thunder, lightening, we haven't had one of them for some time.

Tuesday 18 June

Busy day in the shop but takings were very low.

Wendy and Andrew popped in to say hello this evening.  Wendy hasn't been very well of late.  They did tell us what the problem is but I can't remember the names as they were long medical things.  It was nice to see them both but Wendy wasn't looking too well at all.  Here's hoping she gets better soon.

I think I might have solved the problem of Grandad's bungalow.  Its quite a long story but I will know more next week and will give you the full update on your return.

The Veg Patch one month on!

Wednesday 19 June

Choked on a piece of apple on the way to the car this evening.  A piece of apple went down the wrong way and although I tried to cough it up it wouldn't budge, then for a few seconds I couldn't breath but luckily Nev was on hand and realised what was happening and slapped me on the back which solved the problem.  Phew!  Scary!

Wednesday 26 June

Yeah, I know, sorry, a week has passed and I've not updated the blog.  

Sorry to read of the death of Elisban.  He sounds like a great man, would love to have met him.

I'm guessing that you have now left the lodge and are about to do the touristy thing.  Remember, be aware of what is happening around you, look after your stuff and most of all stay safe.

Can't wait to see you on 17th July.

So I guess this is the last edition of Trull Times.  I hope it has in some way kept you up to date with life here since you've been away and I hope it hasn't been too boring a read.

See Yah soon, lots of love from Me, Mum and Hannah.

First week of June

Monday 3 Jun

Back to work.

Tuesday 4 Jun

Nev being attacked by an afternoon weary

Won £5.00 with an on-line scratch card.  This big win better materialise soon or you'll be gone from Peru before we can get there.
Han is on holiday and spent the afternoon and evening here at home.  When I got home they were both getting some "Shed" time!
Went with Nev to Cardiff airport to collect Sol and Rosie after their holiday in Turkey.  Left about 10:15, dropped Han back at the flat on the way.  Their flight was on time and we got back home at about 01:30.  Way past my bed time on a school night.

Wednesday 5 Jun

Felt like a long day cos I was a bit tired after the late night.

Thursday 6 Jun

With Nev's help we delivered a sofa and two chairs from the flat above the shop (the tenants didn't want them any more) to Han's flat.  The chairs are in one piece but I shall have to pop down at some stage and reassemble the sofa, and as Mum reminds me put up the curtain pole!

Friday 7 Jun

They've closed East St in town, from the roundabout by Lloyds right through to junction where Bliss is/was (Bliss has closed) to carry out repairs to the water pipes.  We expected all kinds of traffic problems but amazingly there is less traffic problems than before!  You can still walk down the road but you can't drive.

Saturday 8 Jun

To the Snell's this evening to celebrate Wendy's 50th Birthday.  Becky and Jordan and Kat and Sam were there too, as well as Nev and Hon and Andy Brown.  A very pleasant evening with Andrew operating the BBQ like a professional.

Sunday 9 Jun

Spent most of the day in the garden, mowing the lawn, emptying the compost bins and resetting them ready to go again.  Had a relaxing couple of hours just sat in the sun listening to the radio.  Chilled!  The Gran Cru (Belgian beer) is ready for drinking - happy days.

Spring Bank Holiday Edition

Monday 27 May

Spring Bank Holiday.  As tradition would have it, the weather was pretty awful so we didn't go anywhere and even if we did we would have been stuck in a traffic jam somewhere.  But I did manage to get the latest batch of Belgian (the Diablo) bottled which should be ready for drinking about mid July.

I've paid your share of the rent and deposit for the house in Bristol so at least that is one less thing to worry about.  There should be a copy of the email I sent confirming payment on its way to you.

Apart from these few thing a lazy day chillaxing!

Tuesday 28 May

Back to work. Weather awful.

Wednesday 29 May

Won the Euromillions in last night's draw.  Well £2.60 of them!  There is a lucky Brit somewhere who is over £81 million better off this morning!
Hannah got a lift home with me from work and I dropped her back to the flat at about 10:30pm.

Thursday 30 May

Mum went out for a meal with the ladies this evening leaving me to snooze in front of the TV - channel Dave all evening!

Friday 31 May

Normal sort of Friday.

Saturday 1 Jun

A day off for me as this is the only Saturday in June that Doris can work (or so she says).  Had a great day in the garden pottering around doing all the little jobs I've been meaning to do for ages.  Even had time for a chill in the shed with a beer!

Sunday 2 Jun

Chill day.
