Sunday

Sunday’s post is a little late. I could have told you that our ISP was down or that we had a power failure, but the simple truth is that our neighbours dropped in for a couple of drinks which developed into a meal with more drinks. End of story.

We are lucky that we have such good neighbours. Even their children are excruciatingly nice. The neighbours on our other side are also nice. The man is a medico at a large hospital and I guess he doesn’t want to have too much personal contact lest we put on him for free consultations. His wife is much more communicative. Both neighbours are security conscious which is great when one of us is away for any time. We also have a couple who live at the entrance to our cul-de-sac who know everything that happens in the area.

Dave and Judy, who visited yesterday, brought in details of their recent trip to the U.S. and gave us some good tips for travel, car hire and accommodation. Dave runs a very successful business producing compost from waste from a large piggery. He has won several environmental awards for his operation. He has invited me to visit the site to check it out.
