Today is Gina's 31st birthday,we spoke to her on the phone as she has the day off work along with Andrew,I think he was out buying her breakfast when we talked,me and Sheila went up to the doctors to collect her medicines,and then on to louth,where I took my watch in to the jewellers to have the back replaced,reason for this was I put a battery in it on saturday but could not replace the back,it's easy on cheap watches but not on good ones,it seems they have a special machine to replace them at the shop,they said no charge but make a donation to the air ambulance,which was ok.
We were woken fairly early by the sound of the tractor ploughing the field next to our bedroom they plough to within 9 feet of the window,not sure what will be the crop for next year,but I think it should be rape seed as we have had barley and wheat twice.
Sheila is still suffering with the dental problem and just a bit fed up now,also the fact we only got 2 numbers on the lottery is not helping,Jean and Norman called in on friday en route to their caravan and I had a look at their new car,ford focus it looks a nice car ,I have always favoured fords in the past because they are cheap to repair and service,and I have found them to be reliable if maintained properly,plus they make the best gearboxes.
Sandra and Sam the pom have been walkabout in the local bush and had an encounter with a snake of unknown origin,and other bush creatures,it can't have been as scary as when Sam the pom as a lad climbed the improvised ladder on the wicker while in casual employment on my payroll,it has to be said that I can give him a very good reference for fearlessness,unlike his trick cyclist brother who was scared by a large rabbit whilst on holiday in Montana.

I was attacked by a very vicious mountain goat with large pointed horns in Montana.
It looked like a rabbit to me.Graham
