The farmer and I are toddling off to Skegvegas tonight to cheer and whoop for Jools Holland, his Ryhthm & Blues Band, and some impressive guest singers too. Quite excited about the even, particularly as it is only 6 miles from home, in our tiny local theatre.
The pups are growing fast, despite the minor set-back of their mother's 6 day digestive upset. Now they are piddling, pooing, whining, barking and even tottering around their box. In a week or so they are going OUTSIDE in a SHED, at least during the day. I shall quell all arguments about this with a very hard stare.
International Traveller starting honest labour today, 10am til 6pm 6 days per week with just 30 minutes for lunch. Working Reception at a large holiday park. This contract for 6 weeks. He has also volunteered to do two or three nights a week behind the bar of the Countryman Pub. He won't know what's hit him! Fingers crossed his first day goes well, he was a bit nervous! He will be pleased to get to University for a rest.
Big boy trying to find a room to rent in Dumfries for 6 months whilst he does his Fish Farming HNC. Why are all the advertisers 'ladies of a certain age'? He is persisting!
And the buckets and spades? All these have been abandoned by departing guests. We are storing them for free loan to new guests, but its one way traffic, more and more are joining the pile in Reception. Can't think how to reduce the glut, except obviously by chucking them in the bin, which seems such a waste? Buckets and spades anyone?

Perhaps you could keep the buckets and spades in storage? seems like a waste to just throw them away. You might get lucky and some family might take their borrowed ones home.
Glad the International Traveler is home safe and sound!
Nice to see the pups' eyes open!
Saw the Jools poster last time I passed through Skeggie, looks like an entertainment coup for the resort. i'm sure he will be good.
Even more interesting Skeg made an appearance on BBC America a few evenings ago - it was either James May's Meccano or a Top Gear re-run.
He was absolutely fabulous. 20 musicians and singers squeezed onto the small stage, everyone smiling, laughing and drinking beer! Two encores, intimate 'feel' because of smallness of theatre. Well worth the £32.50 for the ticket and an absolute pleasure. I enjoyed it then!
Skegness in America????? Actually, a big meccano show does come here once a year, and I think I remember James May coming last year, so bet that was it! No Top Gear feature would come here I'm sure - our roads are killers and there is no 'money' here. Fancy though, the fame of the resort is world-wide!!!!!
