Phew!

Got a letter this morning with an appointment for Mr Butcher at Aintree. Only trouble is that it is for 8.30 in the morning, so we will have to get up and get going early that morning. Not what we are used to these days but never mind, don't want to put it off really. 
We were in today, so Vin decided to drill a hole in the bottom of the new barrel, which he hasn't been able to do because of the rainy weather. He came up a bit later with the shavings that were produced in a tub, and boy could you smell the whisky! No doubt at all that it is a proper whisky barrel Vin said it had drawn an ant or two I bet they went back to their nest drunk!! He is now waiting for it to dry out properly after al of the rain we have had, so he can varnish it.
Vin got a card t6his morning which he put on the edge of my sofa so I thought it waas for me for some reason, I started to open it and he said that's for me!, When he finished opening it he found it was a Father's day card for him with a lovely photo  of him and Jessie, the one where she is in her basket just sstaring at him adoringly and he is talking to her, (as he does!) Well done Jane a nice thought and a good pick of photos too.
Talking of Jessie, she has been the morning in her basket where she is most comfortable, just raising her head occasionally to miaow at her Daddy!

No cream cake today darling! Sorry!  No creme Fraiche either, that has run out. Wait till Monday now. Be patient!
