Long Time No Post

Well I cant believe I havent posted on here since the sun last shone in our neck of the woods.

I was a little concerned this morning because when I woke up I couldn't hear anything - no wind or rain lashing against the window. With some trepidation I got out of bed and peaked out of the curtains to find - the sun was shining!

This caused major panic as I rushed around the house opening windows and doors to let as much of it in as possible. Himself decided I had lost the plot completely and fully intended to have a bit of a lie in. I soon sorted that out by pulling the duvet off him and pillows from under his head and manically stripping them all to get the washing done so it could dry outside. Well, it is only July so you have to make the best of a day without rain.

I am reliably informed by himself that we are making good progress on the redecorating front. I have to say I feel this is just extreme optimism on his behalf. So far all I can see for all his huffing and puffing is one window sill undercoated, sunroom floor ( beautifully) varnished and first coat of paint on sunroom walls. When I commented on the painfully slow procedure I was told that it was all the preparation that took the time, but as I pointed out to him I do the preparation for dinner every night and he doesnt have to wait three weeks for the results.

We have been away for him to play at watching big boys toys at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last month. I am staggered he took over 400 pictures. I think he photographed every bloody car he saw, including the spectators. This is a man who usually has to psych himself up to take maybe one picture every couple of months! I stupidly pretended I was interested at first. I commented on the first few, glazed over for the next 100 or so and when I came to again he was up to about 380 and still going for it. It doesn't happen often, but I tell you I was lost for words. How can anyone on earth take all that many pictures of cars? And more scarily be able to tell you all about them afterwards. And still forget to pick up a loaf of bread......
