Make yourself at home

Make yourself at home

Someone has been making themselves at home in our laundry room. He’s there overnight though yesterday he stayed for the morning even though checkout time is usually 5.30 a.m. He’s not our cat, and we don’t want to encourage him, but when it’s pelting down as it was yesterday, then what can you do? He will have to vacate when I need to get to the washing machine though, and, as you can see, there’s a lot to get through.

Outside, apart from the rain, our road is now reopened. I’m not sure if that’s because they needed to clear the rubbish from the bins or because rain stopped play or if that’s all they’re doing, but the mixer and supplies are still in the square, so maybe they will return at some point. The new section looks great, with the old stones re-laid to be neat and safer. The slippery corner still exists, but hopefully, that will be seen to in time.

The fundraiser on Sunday raised €686 for the island’s football team, so that’s great news! The message from Jean was: “I raised 360 Euro, Eilish, Bev & Mary raised 220 Euro, Irene (Czech) and Marilyn (Philippines) raised a further 106 Euro – making a total amount of 686 Euro for the football team.” Excellent!

Lastly today, just a reminder about giving the gift of a good read for Christmas. I noticed Neil is reading ‘The Eastling’, good for him. You can find all my other books from my author page on any Amazon site. All of them are available in Kindle format, free on Kindle Unlimited and can be bought from any Amazon store as paperbacks. Here’s the link to Amazon UK. https://www.amazon.co.uk/James-Collins/e/B005C7HWJI/
