Friday evening, and...

all is not well with the world. However, I've decided this is not my problem this evening so am choosing to ignore it.

Ian is working next week in Vistakon. He has to join me at work at 8am, which isn't something that warms the cockles of his heart. It's only for a week, though, so he'll manage.

This weekend we hope that our boat will finally enter dry dock. This may be tomorrow afternoon, or possible Sunday. Anyway, paint has been bought and all is ready for the big paint job.

Tomatoes, bananas and cucumbers are the major obstacles in Ian's life, he tells me. I've no idea why, as he hasn't explained that to me yet. Dad is worrying about the poor dogs lying on the floor starving as he hasn't fed them. I think he may be expecting me to do something about it, but I'm busy blogging.... must get priorities right.

I'd better start again

In my last blog I gave out about others not blogging, but I haven't posted since 6th July. I don't know where the time has gone. Two weeks of holiday on the boat, a frantic couple of weeks at work, and another week at the Friends World Committee for Consultation triennial meeting in Dublin, lead me to today. I am now exhausted and a bit distressed at the thought that I have no holidays to take between now and Christmas. Oh well!

Ian is searching Cappamore sites to see what could possibly be on in that remote village in Co Tipperary that could require him to be there at 10.30 tomorrow evening. He has just been invited to go there by Clare as she needs someone to ensure that Benjamin doesn't attempt to run after her more than he is already. The machinations of youth!

Ian is also searching house listings for a property for Gran. The developer has appealed on bended knees for her to move out of her house and has offered to pay for everything. There is a really nice house in Churchtown that she is making minor objections to, so he is trying to get her to visit it. Cost is 1.4million, a mere pittance if the developer is to pay for all!

The dogs are very unsettled. Leavy barked and scratched against the kitchen door until 2am last night and the three of them are taking every opportunity to bark at things. This is obviously our punishment for abandoning them last week. Hopefully they will settle down soon.
