Dot, David is so right. Pink is just not you......

The shutters sound like a new look for the house. The garden growing too much is always a pita, but sound like you have it being controlled with some help. That's always good, arranging for help. I still can't get his nibs to allow me to book a garden clearout with some of the local people who sound like they do a good job, from the reviews from people who I do really know. I really think twice a year getting someone to help to get it under control would make a huge difference, but not in his vocabulary. xxxx
George, can only agree with the foxes and blackberries. Cats would have come from Asia eventually, so the Brits, just got in first. Enjoy your history lessons and historical buildings mate xxx
We managed to get the van all packed and ready for lift off, before lunch. After lunch I had to visit the fang farrier, to get a filling patched up. The hole is no longer there but it feels so different. Anyways, that's another thing ticked off the list.
Tonight, I thought I would check the car rego site to see if they have processed our payment for the rego. It says that the patrol only has 9 more days rego paid for. I did that last week, so pulled out the paperwork to check the dates. I paid for the green slip insurance by phone, so knew that was done. Then I looked at the receipts. I paid the rego, for the same amount as the green slip ($401.54) but the rego is $901 oops. I am so glad that I checked this. I instantly paid the $500 extra and now will have to keep a close watch on it to see that they have added the two amounts to give us a full years worth of rego. I also realised too late, that the extra 54cents might throw a spanner in their tiny minds. This will be closely monitored until they mark our rego as paid, or I will have to phone them before the due date and get it properly sorted.
