Hello Ed, I agree with you about Trump's visit. I dislike the man. I also don't have much time for Charles. I guess that as he is a world leader the meeting had to take place. On a brighter note I went to the Art Group again today. They are all such friendly people. Everyone moves around the room to chat. No one is ignored. Close to the end of my time there I was chatting with a woman and we discovered that we had almost been neighbours in Thornbury. Another lady popped into our conversation and between the 3 of us we all knew the streets that we had lived in. So funny how things work out. Anton, one of the group, knew Brian and myself from Jamieson / Mansfield. The Art Group are putting on an exhibition early November. Alice In Wonderland. Raising money for a Life Saving Club. I came home with a task. One of the ladies, who is a brilliant artist, has made a lot of of wooden doors about 10 centimetres high and dome shaped. When I first arrived she asked be if I would paint or draw something on one for the exhibition. I shyly declined. She was not to be put off. Later she came to me with one of the doors and a book with a drawing and told me to take it home and think about it. And that is what I have been doing. I will have to read the chapter where Alice is in a house and outgrows it. Maybe the White Rabbit was there?

Hi Ed
Been to Enfield Town. Sold Tasha's Xbox. She never plays with it anymore. I took some books to the charity shop.
Hope Sainsbury's was good.
Have a good afternoon

Morning splash--Well the tourists didn't take home our good weather as it is sunny and a little cool this morning but going to warm up. Don't even hint to the cats that their  holiday is over and they have to go home or you will totally have trouble on you hands. I don't even thing about doing things and Sagwa appears--positive he is a mind reader. Off this morning to the vascular surgeon to see what is going on this time. Think I have about had it with just the tests and nothing further, Have a good day and hope the cats don't catch on to the next move.

Spotted a Mallard, thanks!

Hello ED, TY for the P-P. knocking on your gate. I have just finished dinner whilst watching Hard Quiz as I ate. I love the photos of Tracey and her cats. Also the photo of you with our Queen. HaHa. I think that you will have to ask Tracey what breed her cats are. I am no expert re. breeds. However I am curious. They are certainly lovely looking cats. They look as boofy (is that a word?) as Mindy. I may have told you that Mindy has Bengal Tiger in her. A breed that is not allowed in Australia now. She certainly gives my dear Mungo grief however I like what you said about siblings. I will be soon off to bed to finish my book. Interesting that you said Mrs. Winterbottem ended up like a Mills and Boon book. I have never read one of them but can guess. It is good night from me and enjoy your new day.

Hello Ed, the fence is a standard wooden paling fence. Average height, possibly 6 feet.  THe fence that it will replace is metal framed with heavy chicken wire. It is see through and allows to see in each others yard. I have lots of native coastal trees and they have a tidy garden with a lawn in the back. They obviously want the privacy, I am not bothered by that. Their house is a posh holiday house. My house suits the coastal area. Haha a chap who joined us the other day at The Monday Coffee Club told me that he loves the look of my property. We sometimes see each other as I am heading to the shop and he is on a walk. And he said that without knowing about the proposed fence.

Hello ED, my neighbours emailed me and said that they understood. They asked if they could go ahead with the fence at their cost. They also assured me that there were no hard feelings. So I told them to go ahead with the fence. I guess that we both win. THey get the fence that they want and I don't have to pay. Mind you I don't like the idea of being fenced in.
