Poochy - Have a wonderful Christmas wherever you are going! Shall keep my present wrapped up until the day but thank you. I have left a little surprise for you too - it is the parcel with the big kiss on the label and your eyes will certainly water when you open it :-) I am also trying to organise an honorary gold dog basket for you in the new cafe but I have to negotiate that with Spaceman first! Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx jj

One absolutely exhausted Socco crawls into the cafe, gasping for a cuppa. Saturday shopping, a pet hate, is even worse a week before crimbles. Nor is it over yet, a flying visit to Tesco followed by a call at the local Chinky nosh shop before I can relax and settle into the comfy chair.

Spacie...you echo my thoughts entirely and Christmas was the original reason we first came to SA. Apart from 'the parsons nose' there's nothing I miss about Christmas in the UK.
Reading your post made one realise just how the family unit has changed and become spread around, not only the Country but also the World.
A Global Village.
Anyway have a safe trip and enjoy Oz, its all about choices and I reckon you've cracked it.
Socks......Is this the same Socco who yesterday was shouting 'yippee'?
Suggest that after reading wot you wrote that work may not be so bad.
Jen..don't go overboard on the Mutt, there's a hitching post outside and a bucket of Bods there, he'll be happy and the caff a damn sight more hygeanic with him outside.

Yes, of course it is. Half the fun is in the preparation and then the relaxation and relief that it all comes to fruition.

Good morning from a drowsy and tired Socco, late light last night talking family history into the small hours. Fascinating what people did to earn a crust in the old days, we have everthing from lawyers to mantlemakers, shell fish dredgers and railway station masters.
Now for a FEB.

Morning guys
Coffee and a FEB needed - long day finalising the required works at the house.
Quiet day today then the demolition (the fun bit) starts tomorrow - garage and car port for starters. Had a little bonus thursday, picked up a brand new steel bath for 50 at the auction this week - costs over a grand in the shops!!!

Coffee percolator is bubbling away and that gorgeous aroma is drifting through the cafe, tea is brewing and fresh bacon under the grill. I ask you, what more could you want on a brisk Sunday morning? Should attract a few of the ladies too.

Jessie..bit more than a hiccup or cough; more like a case of get the vet and put down half the team [ after Rupert Lowe has been dealt with, of course].
An absolutely shameful performance and to think we were bad last season but won the same fixture 3-1.
Always sunshine tho', spending day on my tod poolside, cool drinks, tv on just loud enough so as I can follow the Test match [England going well] but soft enough that I can cat-nap.
Turned down a very nice luncheon invite, decided to chill instead [not a good choice of words..32 degrees.

What ho Chocs and Spacie, glad you've got the sun. It does make a difference to your day, mind, health, karma the lot.
Hedge thinning is good mind therapy Spacie, have you tried layering; now thats a skillfull game. Go on, give it a go.

DD - we were poor yesterday - quite happy to nick a win. At least we now know why we cant defend set pieces for toffee at the moment - the centre halves have been practising their long range shooting lol!!!
Starting the demolition on the house this week so will only be around occasionally for the next few days
