Back n the UK

I thought it was about time I started my blog again and hopefully I will catch up with the posts since I left San Francisco!

We woke to another cloudy day this morning, I should be getting used to it by now as it has been pretty much the same since we arrived.

Jon continues with his clearing out and this morning, after our trip to Ikea yesterday to buy a desk, he cleared the office to get it ready for painting. We will need to have the office done so that we can get all the stuff back in before the builders start.

Jon then left to go to Kent for a meeting with a company who he bought the methyl bromide monitors from and sold in NZ.

I intended to go to the Leisure Centre in Newmarket to find out about classes but it was not a very nice morning as it started to rain and I lost the enthusiasm to go out so did some housework instead.

I went across to see Rene, my elderly neighbour, and we had a chat. She is really very good for her age, repeats herself a lot but then I do that and I am 30 years younger than her! I had to run back in the rain as it was now very heavy.

I spent the rest of the afternoon doing odd jobs, phoned the dentist to register, rang to order a new crevice cleaner for the Dyson which we seem to have thrown out in the big clear out! £12 for a new one!

Jane rang me for a chat, it is nice being able to chat to her so much now.

We ordered a halogen oven and it arrived today. I think it will be useful for Jon and I but especially so when we have the kitchen done.

I cooked out dinner in the new oven tonight and it is very easy and I look forward to trying out new recipes.

I really need to get myself organised and start doing some exercise classes and have looked into going to the leisure centre. I will try it out for a month and see how it goes and which classes I like.

It is a cold here during the day when there is no sun and so I have needed the heating on, one of the plus things in the UK - central heating!

Heather is out with her friend tonight celebrating her birthday and then she will be off early in the morning to London so we are not going to see her much over the next few days.

WEATHER
Cloudy with showers and sunny spells in the evening.
