Another week

Quite a quiet week..hurray
Had Poppy on Thursday for 4 hours while Laura went to the builders at Hellingly to decide the spec for everything on the house she is buying. She met up with Tom and Emma there. Anyway the bottom line is that she has chosen everything and is happy and me and Tom will do her a patio ...Mills and Son! Exchange early November and hopefully move in in Feb. I think Tom and Emma would move in next door if they could!
In the meantime me and Poppy went down to Scotts in Pevensey and Poppy played with Maya who is nearly four. She enjoyed Scotts 'cheeky chickens' which is good since ours have all been eaten. So you fox loving animal rights people can come round the Mills residence to protest and we shall see who wins..huh?
I also met with Stephen Lloyd Eastbourne's MP. We worked together when he was in 'opposition' and I found him a keen enthusiastic guy who has the best for Eastbourne at heart. Unlike the previous incumbent. Anyway he wants me to be his police adviser...a voluntary role to examine things local and national and advise since actually that is what advisers do! Ive accepted and am keen to assist Eastbourne which I have a soft spot for. I really enjoyed my policing there and know I really made a difference....even when I had to cycle to work! HaHa.
I put some oak shelves up yesterday above the Aga. We had them specially made and they are floating shelves. This means that u cant see the brackets since they come out of the wall and into the rear of the shelf and the shelf sits on these rods of steel. Anyway there were 8 rods to get into the back of these two shelves with little tolerance! It took me 4hrs..on/off/on/off...move a rawlplug 6mm.....what a session.I got an 'is there really any need for that' from Gill as the expletives flowed...laughter. Character building some would say...pay someone to do it next time I would say! There was indeed little tolerance!
Car goes in today to have its bodywork done which will take all week. I think Lauras goes in next week! Im also spending the morning with Royce so will catch up on things over a cha. Would rather like to workout and have a swim and steamroom but the Tattoo isnt ready until the latter part of this week. I dont know old boys and their tattoos! Perhaps a game of golf calls either pm today or tomorrow. It can be hard being part of the retirement set!I'll settle for it.
