I seem to remember Hosta's tenants have only been there a few months ........ heaven knows what they'd have done in several years' time You're obviously well rid Hosta ... they're someone else's problem now and there's no way any of the deposit should go back to them. All repairs to be costed at the going rate!!!

Sunny here and dry - as ever - but there's a pleasant breeze so not too hot for work and play.
Not in the mood for doing much tho as I'm having a quiet internal grump at OH who has blithely ignored all my drawn and agreed plans for raised beds in the potager because he doesn't want to saw timbers in half to make ends for 1.25m wide beds. This means I have huge 2.5m wide blocks which mean time and money spent on central paths for access. Doh! and Humph!
Hope you cheer up Yvie and enjoy your hols.
NB - well done. Hope the next lot's as easy.
Hosta - that wall looks one of mine after it's been prepped for painting but not yet sanded smooth. Horrible for you and OH.

Hosta: Just caught up with previous posts. I have been looking at your photos of the repairs to the wall - I assume you have had to fill in a lot of little holes. Whatever did the tenants do to make so many holes or was it their pets?
The state of that wall is horrible ... but even more so because you can take it from us that Hosta's home is immaculate and so is what we saw of the flat ... Hosta's Lovely Hub's standard of painting/wallpapering etc is the highest I've ever seen (and I've seen some remarkable homes) ... if they need someone to redecorate Buckingham Palace they couldn't do better than get him in to do it ............. that wall will have been as smooth as silk and twice as beautiful before the tenants moved in... take our word for it.
But they're young idiots who so far have had life easy ........... they'll learn ... one day they'll decorate their own place and then a dog or a child will scratch it or daub paint on it ... trust in karma!!!

Salmon quiche lovely- I could do with warming up, Just in from lotties haven't been so wet since my motorcycling days. My own fault kept wanting to do just one more bit before stopping to harvest. I have green yellow & purple beans that would go well with it. Now -I have some MONSTER cabbages (must be the Cow Muck!) any ideas for something different to do with them?

Joyce we should indeed
hope the weather not spoiling your lunchtime visitors
Hosta, you really going to do this again?
yvie, I must have missed it but where are you off to?
A A Milne
Thanks again for the kindness.
LP, the alternative is that I have to attend the coal face more.
Tenants were there less than 4 months. The plus side is that they are liable to rent until Oct 6th if we don't get any "tenants" move in before then.
