    25th October 2024Let’s put it this way. Yesterday was NOT a hammock day. We were beset by problem after problem and at 4.33pm with a big harrumph we dived into the pool, declared a strike, downed tools and headed to Le Shack 10 minutes down the road for some grub. We had never been there…

    22nd October 2024 At some point we really need to get our head round the electrics and make a priority list for the sparky.

    20th October 2024 Andy Tempro is a hard working man. He’s not in the first flush of youth – hell, neither am I – but the shift he put in at yesterday’s auction was astonishing. He and his team had already spent two days solid sorting and itemising the entire contents of a recently deceased…

    19th October 2024 As we speak we have a Barbados bullfinch holed up in our bedroom. The little blighter is not having any of our gentle encouragement to leave the room and is ignoring all open windows and doors. He seems to like it above the wardrobe. So far the fallout has not been too…

    18th October 2024 Like all treasure some comes easily and without baggage…. Washed up on the beach or in the garden like our wonderful coral doorstop.
