Hi folks, Lovely day here today but we did have a lot of rain last night so the front garden was just right for weeding this morning. Got up early to miss the hottest part of the day and got quite a bit done. Hubby has managed to mend a leak we had from the upstairs loo. Clean water thankfully but it's still made a mess of the kitchen ceiling. He was quite pleased with himself as he hasn't managed to do much round the house since his stroke. Think it was the idea of a plumbers bill that did it. Hope everyone is OK.
We went out to lunch in a pub in Alfriston then went back to Eastbourne and had a quiet afternoon. We were all tired. The 2 grandchildren, took part in a triathlon yesterday. They are both very slim and sporty.

Hello again at last we have a decent Internet connection. We are sailing to our last destination Budapest. We came through heavy rain during dinner. Have tried to read back I think I have picked up on most things happening. Great news about Rob. Here's a cloud picture from yesterday for @Pat E not as dramatic as some of your ones. This was Novi Sad, I think all a bit of a blur now.
We’re clouded in with fog so far today as we are expecting visitors for morning tea and catch-up. We haven’t seen him for ages, but his daughter rang yesterday to let us know he’d had a fall. We’ve been friends since we first moved here as he had the town bakery. I think he’s close to 90 now. We’re keen to see him.
Good morning all 😊 ☕️ Hope you have a lovely catch-up with your friend @Pat E.
We have a busy day ahead … I have a dentist appointment and OH has a physio appointment … both in different directions… he’s booked a cab. We’ll leave son here with plenty of coffee supplies … he has a friend visiting with her small daughter, but hopefully they’ll not arrive until I’m back.
Later on NDN wants to pop around and inspect the back of her garage as she says it seems damp. Not surprising as it’s lower than our garden and the rear wall functions as a sort of retaining wall and I can’t see a DPC.
She’s always a bit anxious … it was her late fathers house and he died in 2019 and she’s taken this long to ‘prepare it for sale’ … no building work other than new soffits and gutters … just interior paintwork and titivating it. Now she’s thinking of having pvc soffits etc on the garage.
Son says he’ll explain to her about the DPC and that the damp can best be dealt with by tanking it from the inside.
But TBH she should leave well alone … the house went on the market last week … whoever buys it will deal with it.
Do any of you want a very nice house in a nice spot on the outskirts of Norwich? The neighbours are lovely 😇

A walking stick at 90 sounds a very good idea @Pat E I have one for when my knee decides to play up … especially if I’m in coastal Cornwall and the streets are cobbled and crowded.
