    Awake about an hour.... weird night...went to work at 11pm to meet someone and we got very hands on...came home and had to listen to a dog crying constantly until 2.30 until someone came home...and then I had to listen to her drunken ramblings until past 3
    Soooo...I'm sat here and I'm a seething mass of rage...I'll be notifying the council about the dog....I'll also have a little face to face with them next door (they haven't spoken to me in 2 years as this happened before with 3 bischon frieses they kept )
    Other than that... just lieng in bed about to watch some rugby :)

    Morning all.... chilly here. Lovely and quiet though... bliss

    I realised last night that I HAVE BEEN ROBBED!

    This may sound crazy but this IS a small island and things are unique here.. :):D:pac:

    Someone has literally stripped my lovely rose hedge of hips! Every last one gone....It is about 25 metres from the house....

    On the side behind a fence, still some, ; I found the fence had been taken down a week or so ago and had made it as good as I could but there was a path there made by intruders... but the accessible part is.... bald.

    It came back to me that the evening before, around 7 pm, I had heard shouting on the lane. Was abed and did not go out; had anyone needed help they would have come to the door and they all have cell phones, the few we are here . Two voices, two men. People do NOT shout here. Any differences are sorted quietly... cannot afford bad blood on an island this size, living isolated from the outside.

    So we think that one was stealing MY ROSE HIPS and the other came along and bawled him out!l Literally.... He would have been welcome to them of course.

    My poor bald rose hedge! roflol!

    Sitting in the kitchen, waiting for my visitors to get up. It looks like it will be a nice day, they'll be off to a wedding later, so hopefully it stays fine.

    I'm so jealous. :D

    Waiting on my lift. I was driving myself but got a call from a friend who said he'd collect me, as he's passing en route anyway.

    In my usual bar for the football for the last time for a while.

    Found my dream apartment today and it's below my budget so when I come back next month I hope to move. ��

    Got my wish and was out picking berries with cat and dog. Dog cannot understand why I keep stopping....lol.. stands there glaring at me to walk

    Breezy and clouds but bearable. Filled a bag but so little energy. Sat on a sheltered bank watching the ocean for a while... that was really lovely...Bliss....

    Brought a full bag of turf in ready..warm without fire today, so whatever the weather, fine and safe. That is my "job" after all.. to stay safe and warm so that others can do THEIR jobs and not be worried.

    It feels.. dark out there. Disturbed, uneasy.

    Grace, I bought a garden cart like this in woodies for less than 20.00 https://www.woodies.ie/garden-rolling-kart-1145602 because coal and bricquettes were too heavy for me to lift. I can wheel this inside when I need it. So handy. Maybe see if someone can pick one up for you that’s similar? Rather than lifting bags full of heavy turf.

    I’m on my lunch

    Ah what a kind thought... Great minds! I bought a baby buggy from V de P last winter for E4 so that when I bring coal or anything heavy eg shopping into the ferry place, we can wheel it to the boat, and the same here. The men love it! When I am in town I can push it around looking maternal...the turf is not too bad thankfully...

    Bed missing him. Was a lovely night out watching Liverpool win, drinking beer, eating pizza but then he had a late night meeting (a lot of Malaysian business is done late at night in cafes and karaoke places) and legged it.

    He has to travel across the country tomorrow so won't see him til Monday then our few days in Singapore before I go home for a month. How did I let the young scut under my skin? Grr
