Hi Laney

Oh dear at the Blackhawks, I can just imagine the noise

Hi Deb

 

When I first heard them in the distance we thought it was just a police helicopter on a chase of some sort ......... WRONG!!!

 

Just catching up on the earlier posts here - a celebratory wake will enable you all to share the joyous stories of his life, many happier memories and reminiscences.  Great idea 

Yes it's a good idea Laney, just the circle of friends.

There was such a big crowd there today, something smaller where we all know each other will be nice

On the bright side today, we did also get some good news. We have a new tenant taking out a lease on our other house. It's been sitting empty for 2 months now, so we were getting a little worried. I just don't like it being empty.

From a security perspective, apart from the financial impost of vacant premises, that would have been a real concern Deb.

 

Glad you have got that resolved.

 

Gosh, I remember laughing about some of the redecoration you needed to do - how long ago was that?

haha the painting??

 

that was over 12 months ago I think, but we we've been there a couple of times since to do this and that

 

 

yes, that's the thing. I much prefer someone being in there and looking after it IYKWIM

 

the agents have had a few applications but they knocked them back saying this is the right tenant for us

Yes - THAT painting 

 

There is always some maintenance to do I know - hope these tenants look after your house as if it was their own home 

Sounds like you have really good agents Deb.

 

It's bttle stations in the elephant house at th moment - we have fleas in the loungeroom carpet. (the joys of being a cat owner) I vacuumed the whole room 3 times section by section this morning and on the third run I stiill picked up a couple of the little suckers in one section. I'll do it agin before I go to bed tonight and then every morning for the next few days. If that doesn't get rid of them we'll have to call in the experts..

Clean your carpets TGSE............the hot water should kill them.

yes. we & we have a very good relationsip with them too She-ele

 

Darn about the fleas. I hope the vaccumming does the trick As well as using frontline on the cats (which doesn't seem to work as well as it used to) I bought a wire brush so that I can  brush fleas and their eggs out of the fur.  One cat likes to be brushed, the other doesn't. We're over the worst of it, the hot weather has disappeared here.
