The last day of the first month of January 2009 and the big news is that Gary Robb and his mother have both been extradited back to UK. Gary faces serious drug charges, dating back to 1997, when he came over here first and his mother faces charges of intending to pervert the course of … Continue reading »

Because we were on an airport pick up last night and because the gang had not seen Roger and Gill for a little while, we had made the decision to have The Layabouts night out tonight, Friday. Because Joan and I had said the old Hensons restaurant, now called The Red Lion, was good Pat … Continue reading »

Wet and cold. That is about the sum of it this week, with lots more to come say the forecasters. This made for a quiet week really, The boys just went out to The Celebrity bar on Tuesday, here in Lapta. We were lucky there, because there was a darts match on, so that meant … Continue reading »

At last some substantial amounts of rain. It has in fact been pouring steady rain for the last 24 hours to the extent that our garden is flooding. Guess that all this extra rain in the pool has overflowed into the balance tank, so now, when it is dryer outside I will have to drop … Continue reading »

Ugh. Finished the complete course of anti-biotics, like the good boy I am, by Monday evening and thought that’s it I have beaten it. Just a sort of hacking cough remained but a few if those Strepsil type sweeties should fix that. But I obviously spoke too soon as yesterday I was back again with … Continue reading »

Thankfully we have had lots of rain during the last week, mostly at night and it has been that steady sort of rain, not the short sharp torrential sort, so maybe it is now starting to get through to the reservoirs. Don’t believe that we have had anything like enough to sort out the summer … Continue reading »

Joan needed to go over to Nicosia this morning, so we combined this with a nip across the border so that she could go and view both Debenham’s and M&S sales. She must be sickening for something as she actually came away empty handed, now that’s what I call a right result. Obviously, as we … Continue reading »
