Things That Gladden The Heart

Despite the current panic buying, Andrex apparently has over 100 million toilet rolls in stock so there is no need for anyone to have a dirty bottom during lockdown.
 
Completion date for the house sale confirmed for the 4th Dec. Unfortunately, this left a gap of 3 months before the new house build was due to be completed. Had a meeting with the builder yesterday and with a bit of negotiating, more builders employed and I get to pay the overtime bill, we get the keys on the 1st Dec. Yes, there'll still be some finishing touches to be done, e.g. the aircon unit in the loft, 2nd bathroom and kitchen to be finished, but at least we'll have a lounge/bedroom/en-suite we can use.

I keep watching A Place in the Sun when they are in the Almeria region...somehow 'expecting' to see a certain Hobbit pop into view :)
 
We had been feeding a little stray tom cat that we called Dibble for ages and he suddenly stopped coming round last month. We feared the worst but we heard a familiar yowl at the back door this morning and there he was.
Looking a little worse for wear but alive and purring. Polished off 3 pouches of food, 2 slices of ham and a handful of crunchy treats and then plonked himself next to the kitchen radiator for 3 hours.
Hopefully he will keep coming round and we can keep an eye on him.

Maybe you missed the 2 episodes that had pieces showing us expats bowling at Cabrera lawn bowling club. Brief glimpses of me and a longer piece showing Mrs Hobbit.

A good call by the director/editor there then Brian. ;)

Hope this all goes smoothly for you, with everything else you've got going on you really don't any more aggravation. Hope the house & more importantly the girls all get sorted okay. (y)

We've got Alfaix booked in December but its still closed - so I'm looking for somewhere from 18th. I'll bring my paint brush ...
(As you mention new build, are you going up the top end near the bowling club?)
