Greetings from the south coast

Oh my goodness, have completely forgotten about the blog!
Sunday morning, just getting ready to head off to the beach, when this massive storm hits. There goes the beach idea for a while anyway.
However looking south there is already some blue sky, so I may get down there later.
Oops no more blue sky, looks like a sewing or sanding day.
I have had lead light windows in the shed for 5 years now, so I really need to get them sorted out.
If I get them sanded grouted and painted by the time Jules gets here, he and Hasi will have a nice little project to do together! Also then I can sort out the shed and we can move on to the folly, which has been in planning for a while now, and not forgetting the glass wall!
I definitely need to stop working to get these projects up and running.
Hasi and I are discussing how someone can get 99.75 in the HSC. Apparently the most you can get is 99.85, so Jerome A was pretty close.
Mum was remembering being there for his first day of school! Lovely memories of long term friendship with the family.
So fresh laid eggs (thank you ladies of the garden) and a brew of coffee  awaits
Love to anyone who may think about reading the blog

Welsh Greetings

Hi All,
Just a quick post to let you know how life in beautiful South Wales is at the moment.
The weather is COLD. We have had a few falls of snow but not really a lot with us. Not enough to curtail activity,Looking up to the mountains looks lovely.
The darts knockouts are over and we are back to league games. We didn't get into the finals this year. Next week we have a bye so provides the perfect opportunity for us to go out for Christmas dinner. Always an enjoyable night when we go out.
Yesterday I went to Cardiff to see Miss Saigon, a fantastic production. Went up for the matinee which works well. A few more good productions on the program for next year so may make it a regular thing.
Tonight it's the local pantomime - oh no it's not! oh yes it is! Don't really get the whole panto thing but this is the adult version (over 18s only) and it's a good excuse to catch up with some friends and have a drink or two with them.
Been getting a good amount of work (for me that is, not loads). Jules is still negotiating on his personal injury claim. Hopefully will be sorted soon.
That's the basic goings ons. Nothing more for now.
Thinking of you all and sending love.
Bye for now, Moo.
