Burgled!
Came home to this today…
Or more accurately, I was called home as this had happened. Yes, someone broke in, made a mess, turned everything over looking for valuables (click the link to see all the photos). What did they get? My bike:
And our passports, plus a little bit of foreign currency.
Fortunately (or was it planning?) our valuables are not stored in the house. Our treasures are based in our relationships and are also stored where “where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal”.
Died after 35 years – is this a sign of what is to come?
I’ve had a faithful assistant for over 35 years that has just died. It passed away quietly today. One minute it was there doing what it was supposed to do – then it just died. I wonder if it is because of Brexit??
You see it came from England. It traveled with me when I came out here in 1982. It has been in faithful service, used on a regular basis, and died today. It not only came from England, it was also Made in England. Was Brexit too much for it to handle?
I have read some commentary on the result. Some people are blaming the Baby Boomers – claiming that the (unsubstantiated) “younger generation” wanted to stay in Europe. Some people are saying that it was all about immigration. I certainly don’t claim expert knowledge in this area but I do remember a quote from Winston Churchill “We have nothing to fear except fear itself”. It would appear that fear has had a lot to do with the result.
What will it mean to England, the UK, Europe and the world? Only time will tell.
Bathroom reno in a day!
Well not really! It took about 2 1/2 weeks but it was a whole lot quicker with someone else doing it rather than us (we took a year for our other bathroom!). The result is great – very happy with it. Quality of work was also great. The price was very reasonable. I’ll see if I can post some photos…
The “before” photo. A very 1970’s bathroom.
Now the “after” photo:
A bit different eh?! Now with a toilet too and has become an en suite to the guest bedroom.
