If the word ‘woodworking’, bores you to tears, I would move on, it is my passion, and I am happy to sit and talk about it all day. I have been continuing work on the dog crate, with a few distractions, it appears that the finished crate will probably be donated to Pepe, sad asContinue reading “Woodworking!”

Change of Plan
We were both up early this morning, as the arrangement was that the owner of the dog Oreo, was leaving home at 7am to walk him to our house, and after a short introduction, she would leave him with us for the day. I suspected there might be a delay, as it was pouring withContinue reading “Change of Plan”
Ouch!
I decided that it was time for some manual labour, and the first thing on the agenda, was to stop ending up on my backside so many times when negotiating the orchard. It depresses me to watch Marcela’s business Partner working the Avocados like he is a mountain goat, and yet I struggle to getContinue reading “Ouch!”
At Last!
Monday, I started off by going down town, to buy more stain for the the bunkbed stairs, I realised the colour problem had been my fault, if I had bought what I wanted, I would have bought, Wengue, which is dark, how I mixed up Nogal, I have no idea. However this time I wentContinue reading “At Last!”
Another Week Bites the Dust!
Work on the staircase is progressing slowly, I now have all the parts cut, routed and sanded I had bought the stain, and the imunizante to protect the wood from insects. I bought Nogal, which is walnut, and supposed to be dark, unfortunately I mixed the two, before trying it, and it’s orange, much theContinue reading “Another Week Bites the Dust!”

Time Flies!
Blimey, I didn’t realise I had been neglecting my updates, two weeks have flown by, and to be honest, I haven’t got a lot to show for it. There have been no further updates on my Passport, so true to form, Government Departments working at a snail’s pace, thank goodness I don’t need the passportContinue reading “Time Flies!”
Back to Work
Yesterday, morning I received an email confirming that my supporting documents for my new passport, had arrived at the Centre in the UK, which was a relief, I now wait to see how they intend to send it back! I then had an appointment with the pain Specialist, regarding my knees, she is happy thatContinue reading “Back to Work”
Twenty Weeks until Christmas!
That made you sit up, ha! ha! ha! It’s just that time flies, don’t get worried, I can’t believe how fast this year is going, even with all the problems the world has thrown at us! Pepe, has claimed his outside space, he likes the sun, but isn’t so keen on being a dog, whenContinue reading “Twenty Weeks until Christmas!”
Solar or No Solar?
It has been a mixed week, as I guess it is for most of us, on Thursday the Electric Bill arrived, this included a week of the Solar system, and yet the bill had actually risen, and the Kilowatt hours were similar to previous usage, so it was time to look into it some more,Continue reading “Solar or No Solar?”
