Friday 18th

holed up in my office as cleaner is finishing and have to get out of way.

i had to lie down with shock as Adam sent an email to make me envious when he described the location and weather in Santa Barbara - never mind studies but Pacific beckons and hedonistic lifestyle ...

I wonder if Phil has booked hotel for 7th August in Pisa as i would book - you haven't booked one Angela have you . We have stayed in Pisa before an know where to stay for airport and to see sights. There are modest price hotels on expedia - reduced. She has given her order for a few euros!

I will give James tourist books and my Garmin - it has Italy and you can all use when needed. I will offer video camera - very compact but he is always reluctant to take - space etc .

Phil is coming around next week and we have given her our food order plus some bedding to buy . She has had the corolla touched up and looks like new apparently.

The weather is shocking raining bucketfuls - although we need for gardens etc

I have belly ache self inflicted - told to eat non residue food -ok but made a home wholemeal loaf rather solid and after boiled egg for brek pus bread have given me symptoms - pity as nice tasting .

I received an email from Mike A - he wants to ocme around to visit so probaly next week .

Plus we had a call from cleaner at Kilham to say electric had tripped out again and we have lost loads from freezer for 3rd time. An electrician is going to check plus we are having a new extractor fan in kitchen and an FM aerial on roof as reception rubbish.

Ma

I can't keep Dad still as impossible but he is much better when you consider only 2 weeks today and 5 days since he was transfused .

Going to watch open golf again in rain of Scotland - have played at St Andrews and took your Ma just after she finished at All Saints . Rotary job.
