17.11.10

First off, my sincere apologies for the lack of news. Not much has really happened until this past week or so. I've been changing dead exterior bulbs ready for the twilight do. The beech lads have been busy too:

Image

Can't thank them enough for this. They're doing an amazing job.

And that's about it. I'll try and make more of an effort, but, it turns out having two kids under 2 1/2 is quite demanding! Who knew?!?!

And yes, I'll be there on the 27th, rattling my cash tin in a hinting fashion ;)

Good day, very good day.

Got there to find this:

Which is just fantastic!

Then it got dark!

First time I've seen her looking like that!

It would have been nice if a few more people had migrated over, but, I understand. I would have sooner been with the Lightnings too ;)

Still, took about £80 in donations, which SHOULD see us through the "indoor" painting over the next few months :)

Gaz is very subtle - he sidles up to you and says "I want some money from you", or words to that effect; usually with his minder, Dave. =)) =)) =)) =))

Gaz and I prefer the SUBTLE approach, much easier to defend in court! ;)
