Wet,Wet,Wet.

Yes i know the name of a good eighties pop group, they did some good songs but i wish they had been called Sun,Sun,Sun, it's great living in Cornwall but just having got over the fuel problem (hubby said when its gone its gone), meanwhile maniac me planned route so i could cover all jobs on saturday afternoon that just happened to go past many petrol stations. Plan worked and i did top up not because i am a maniac but because i knew we would need food, children taken to activities, jobs etc. Anyway panic over tanker drivers happy at their - 12% increase i believe. But if we start on that one and the nurses pay, teachers pay, etc etc. Well where was i? So deccided to come in out of the wet and spend a little blog time, many distractions once inside, phone calls, cups of tea for builders etc etc, next thing you know its 4pm and nearly dinner time. Along with the wet the wind has also made an appearance i just love flamin' June. Keep seeing a break in the cloud but doesn't amount to much. Desperate to get outdoor jobs done, weeding, weeding and maybe even some weeding. I don't really mind and it means you can think of other things in your head as you go. I have started to repair an old rabbit hutch i keep stripping off the old wood but frankly i'm getting down to not much, we thought as it stands on four legs and has a nice grill front it would be good to sell our eggs at the gate again. Our supply dried up then a nasty magpie came and had the occasional bite plus some of the birds started eating their own eggs, short of grit we have learnt so we shall try again. The builders took the roof of the second barn and discovered the wood was more rotten than we thought, so a small delay whilst they make new A-frames but anyone who has done any kind of extension or new build knows you always have to accept that things take longer than anticipated. There is some good news the donkeys should be arriving around the 1st July so i am really looking forward to that. Youngest boy has gone to camp today for one night only with school it's in dorms so will be nice and safe however his first night away from home not sure he will bother but i might, so going out with other Mum's just so we all feel better, maybe a drink or three, some food and then driving daughter collecting and bringing us all home again. Meanwhile hubby going to a school meeting then to pub and then driving daughter collecting said hubby on way home, good plan, just wish the rain would stop!

You've got donkeys coming!!! You lucky thing. I adore them. You must post some pics:-)

It's not so wet, wet, wet here but it's just not warm and I fear June - my favourite month, is just slipping by. Maybe the weather will surprise us next week:-)
