It feels as though a lot has happened in the past week. Barney finished work, and the next day lots of lovely friends came for a goodbye picnic at Watermead Country Park, which is very nearby and where we always go for an evening walk. There's always some interesting wildlife to see there and on this occasion some Great West Terns were spotted doing what they do best. Anyway, enough of the in-jokes. A very relaxing and happy afternoon for me and, I hope, everybody who came along. Photos to be posted shortly.
Barney continues to make mysterious banging, crashing and clanking noises from inside the Mog and it seems to be taking shape inside. He likes to occasionally ask my opinion about how something should be done and then persuade me that his original idea was best really. Bribery with flapjacks can sometimes win the day for me and my view, however. I am getting on with running various errands as usual, making sure we eat, sleep etc, and packing up my possessions. The sitting room is nearly done.
Tomorrow I turn 49. "Ridiculous!" I hear you cry! Well, I find it quite amazing myself, since I don't seem to have grown up very much. Marrying Barney doesn't seem to have helped on that score either. Here's to a happy trip ungrowing up (with thanks to Milky Bar for the idea)
