That's what Vin says he feel like, a mole in the hole up in the loft all morning. He is doing sterling work up there, and has brought down yet more bags of sand and straw. I expect the straw was used for insulation years ago, and maybe the rags etc round the pipes for the same reason.
Good job he has our neighbours ladders, they are on a cruise ship up the norwegian Ffjords and will be away for ten days or so. Funny thing. the girl in our end terraced house knocked on our door this morning to as if she could borrow our big outside ladders because her step-dad was painting the outside of her house for her. She is still trying to sell it, it has been on the market for about five years now. I think it is overprices at £200.005 and that has been reduced by quite an amount. I suppose it will go one day eventually, they all do.
Vin brought down a magazine he found up in the loft, it was a copy of "Motor Cycle" weekly from 1955 obviously belonged to my brother who was very keen on motor bikmes, and used to go to the TTRaces on the Isle Of Man. It was priced at the princely sum of 8pence weekly, old money that is. There is an advert inside for a Robin Reliant Convertible!!! for around $435 three and sixpence !! I wonder what the three and sixpence was for?
Wimbledon finals have been sorted out today..Sharapova against a Czhech Republic girl I haven't heard of before. The men's will be sorted out tomorrow. the interesting match will be Andy Murray against Nadal.. not sure whether I shall watch that one, not a Murray fan at all.
Tonight we are having:
The remainder of the baby Jersey Royals
Something from our well stocked freezer
Carrots and green beans.

Oh that made me laugh I can remember Nigel's uncle owning a brown Robin Reliant and going out for spin a couple of times in it with him!!! Oh boy you took you life in your hands when Uncle Tim was driving - If memory serves me correctly I think he drove his RR on his motorbike licence.
Great minds think alike, Nigel was only saying this morning that he must go up into the loft to start clearing it out..Have you heard Michael McIntyre joke about men in the loft? He goes on about disappearing into the loft being a 'man thing' that woman never go into the loft etc etc etc well he makes it sound funny..
Have a good day tomorrow, Judyx
