Sunday Sunday..

And our usual routine things t do. Vin went out quite early because he has the do-it-yourself bug since he got his new ladders! he has decided that the back of the house needs doing up. so off he went to get some materials.

There is quite a lot of white at the back of the house but it looks lovely when it is done. he says it is the summer holidays so it is a good time to do it. Good for him.
Jane rang up at lunchtime, after some more money I think..talk about the bank of Mum and Dad!! this time it is for deposit on a new property for rent. She is looking to rent in a house, where you get a room and share kitchen and living room etc and the buills are included. Dead money I always think, but plenty do it these days. Can't help thinking that our neighbour who moved very recently had been buying she woyuldn't have been stuck at a terrible time in her life. Still they must have had their reasons for renting.
I keep telling Jane I am an old pensioner, but she thinks I have secret stasghes of money hidden away!! Huh...
Crosswords not too bad today,just about to finish the big Sunday Mail one.
Terribly sad news about Amy Winehouse, she had a fantastic voice I thought, and some of her music was fantastic. Troubled soul though battled with drink and drugs, and wouldn't let her poor father help her. Joined the "27 Club" all those who have died young, Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin Jimi Hendrix etc., seems to be a critical age for pop /rock stars. Tragedy here though, and not unexpected really. I so feel for her family, especially her father who tried so hard to help her.
Tonight we are having:
Pizza with portobello mushrooms and our tomato sauce
Egg and potato salad and avocado
Potato salad for me and pasta salad for Vin.
