So we bought a kayak

I am sleeping better but Jon is still not having a good sleep and so was up early again.

Jon went off to the shops to buy a tool box and Heather went off to the gym and I took tot out for a walk.

The builder finally arrived at 10.30 and I left him to it. Jon arrived back and we were waiting to go out for coffee and then the builder left without saying a word so we went out. We did notice that he had left his cleaner here and his bucket so imagined that he would be back but didn't know when.

We had a coffee and then went across to the boat show which was being held in The Strand. After a wander around we spotted the kayak stand and went to have a look. There was a very nice young man there and he told us lots about kayaks and we told him we knew nothing but that we were now living in a house near the water and what did he recommend. We finally bought a two seater with back rests, paddle and life jackets at a very good show price and he is going to deliver it to us next Saturday at no extra cost - good service! We are all quite excited about it.

We then went and had a look at some luxury boats and went on them, very plush and a lot of money, we'll stick with the kayak!

We then took Heather to the office as she wanted to do some work so Jon and I went to the DIY store to buy a few things that we needed.

After picking Heather up we stopped at the bread shop and then went home. Our neighbours told us that the builder had been back and trying to get in - tough. Maybe next time he will speak to people and let them know what his plans are!

After lunch Jon and I went across to the house and did some cleaning. The house is not actually dirty but it does need a freshen up and to get rid of the cobwebs. By the time we had finished we had achieved a lot and it was looking and smelling more like our house.

We ordered a takeaway from the new Indian down the road. It wasn't bad but not like English Indians!!!

I spent ages trying to get this Shellac nail varnish off tonight. It is all more or less gone now but my nails feel a bit rough.

Still lots to do but I have a week to sort everything so hopefully this time next week we will be settled!!
