Welsh Greetings

Hi All,
Greetings from sunny South Wales. Glorious day today! Unfortunately, I have to work this afternoon. Off tomorrow and the weekend though so can soak up some vitamin D then.
Jules and I went away last week. Our usual four nights in a caravan cheapy, but not to New Quay. This time we went to Borth, between Aberystwyth and Machynlleth. It was a great week. Did the rounds of the charity shops of course. Picked up a few bargains. Finally visited the Centre for Alternative Technology - well worth it. Saw some magnificent Welsh scenery and didn't have to work. Very enjoyable.
Good luck to all of you who have entered Hasi's World Cup tipping competition. We will be mostly avoiding any football if we can. Looking forward to Wimbledon though and hoping England go down to Sri Lanka in the cricket.
Been back in work this week. Looking forward to the weekend!
Maria will be gracing us with her presence in September, so looking forward to that as well.
Annie, hope you and Annie P had a fab weekend together to celebrate her 50th birthday.
Think that's about all for now.
Hope someone reads this!
Love and hugs xxxxxxxxx

greetings from the south coast

Hi everyone, Yes happy birthday Connor for yesterday, but I don't know if he even reads the blog. Its just you and me Moo, keeping the fire burning. I've booked holidays to go north to visit Marty and Claire with Annie later in the year!! And Im hopefully booking dad a flight today as well!! Influx of isos-watch out Claire. We are keeping it to a week each visit so as not to wear out our welcome. Bubbly in the pool, we love it!! We love it up there. And I can't wait to see all the new things- shed, paving etc. And the garden will be growing beautifully no doubt. How's this amazing weather. Yes I know its global warming, but still, swimming in an ocean of 21 degrees is amazing this time of year.Im looking forward to a long walk on the beach at low tide tomorrow morning, and some laps in the ocean pool, all done while Hasi is still sleeping peacefully at home. He doesn't get what he is missing. Working on sanding my lead light windows for the sunroom this weekend. Then I have to re putty the lead. Its a big job, but they are going to look awesome. OK, almost time for elevenses here with mum and dad. Love to you all Zak

Birthday Greetings

Hi All,
Happy Happy 18th Birthday Connor Michael! Hope you have a fabulous day and enjoy all your celebrating.
Can't believe all my nieces and nephews are all leagl adults. Makes me feel old.
Off to work this afternoon so not much time to post.
Had a great day out in Swansea with a group of girls last Saturday. Saw a matinee of Dreamboats and Petticoats which was fab. We were literally dancing in the aisles. Then an evening of drinking and dancing. Great day out!
Still not sure when Maria will be visiting but Denise O'Grady is in the UK now. Currently in Scotland. Again, not sure if we will get a visit but hopefully will catch up with her.
Must dash as I've got to get to work. Won our darts last night Kev 7-4.
Have a great 18th birthday Connor.
Thinking of you all.
Much love
Moo xxxxxxx

Welsh Greetings

Hi All
I seemed to be recovered from all my ailments and now the hayfever starts! At least that doesn't keep me off work. Got over my lurgy eventually to then suffer with a back problem. A visit to my gorgeous osteopath last week sorted that out for me and now I can work again and start saving for our next trip to Aus and our Elvis experience.
Off to work this afternoon for my third shift of the week. That's a week of work for me. Jules has been doing two days a week driving a taxi which he doesn't really enjoy but it all helps to bring in the pennies.
Went to Cardiff last Friday for a few drinks in the bay before seeing Wicked (the third time) at the Millenium Centre. Fabulous as always!
Maria turned 50 yesterday. No-one at home when I phoned so yet to wish her birthday greetings. no news from her yet on her travel dates.
Denise O'Grady leaves Aus today to fly to Ireland for a couple of weeks before visiting more of the UK. Also awaiting to hear if she will visit us.
Nothing much else happening. The weather is starting to warm up and the days are longer so summer is on the way!
Hope everyone is well and happy. Waiting to see photos of the bedroom Annie.
Love to All who still look at the blog - and the ones that don't.

greetings from the south coast

Hi all, It is 0730hrs and Im just about to work out the door to catch the bus to work. The blog has no power lately. I used to love jumping on, and seeing what everyone was up to. Things are always changing! but I thought I'd just do an April entry. Its a beautiful crisp, clear morning, and if I didn't have to get to work, Id be heading straight down for a stroll on the beach. The ocean temp. is amazingly warm still, but the seas have been massive, so its only white wash or ocean pool for me. I have my cheese and hommous sandwich, and yogurt and mango mix to take to work. Hasi has been up since before 5am watching soccer. It really is the very only thing that would ever get him up at such an hour. Now he's thinking about going back to bed, but I think the day is too beautiful for him to waste, so he's in the garden reading the paper. Blah, blah blah... got to get to the bus. Love to anyone out there, who is still reading this blog Zak.

greetings from the south coast

Hi all, Boy did it rain the night of Martys birthday. Creek flooded for the 2nd time since we've been there. Frightening stuff. Thank goodness the house is up off the ground a bit, otherwise the house would have been flooded. We also acquired a new chook out of the chaos. Our neighbour found it on the street and thought it was ours so chucked it in the pen. I haven't seen it yet, but no doubt its got to be more good looking than the other two scungy ones we've got. So it s still raining, but nothing like the 24th thank goodness. that's it for now. Love and kisses, Zak
