merledogs Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I've been painting gates. Of course in true Alex style I've managed to drop the tin of paint It went everywhere, all over the paving and I spent an hour with a scrubbing brush and hose scrubbing it clean. The tin I bought wasn't big enough to give two coats on both sides in any case, so I'm going to have to go back and buy more. I'm a feckin' idiot.

gooster Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Oh noooooo Alex, nightmare. I am very impressed with how cheap travel is in Sri Lanka. Today I have travelled from Kandy to Trincomalee by bus. It took 6 hours. It cost me £2. The only reason it was £2 and not £1 was because I had to buy an extra ticket for my bags It cost me more to travel from Trincomalee to my hotel by tuktuk than it did to travel there in the first place! Not quite sure where I can eat yet at this hotel. Not seen anywhere that looks foody and it's a bit isolated Hope you are pleased with Honey's groom Jazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am waiting for my next train...and have changed into shorts. It's very warm here and I was melting in my jeans. I forgot to shave my legs or bring a razor...so will be making a pharmacy stop at some point!! Oops Alex, hope you managed to clean it all and paint it xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merledogs Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Moaning Couldn't sleep for the first time this week - I've been having lovely sleeps the rest of the time (because I'm not in work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Has Griff been here lately? I haven't noticed her. I do hope things are OK with her. I was just thnking that last night. I hope everything is okay. Wet and very windy today. Definitely not July weather. It's hard to believe yesterday was a lovely summer's day. I've just had my renewal from NCL for Cleo. I am pleasantly surprised that it is £26 per month. She has had a cruciate repair. If the other one goes ( 60% chance) it wouldn't be covered by another company. Petplan want £33 per month and Tesco £14 per month but niether would cover any cruciate related problems in future. So while it is £10 per month more than last year with AXA I think we will stay with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yantan Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I have her address but no phone number or email address. I am growing rather worried as this is not like her not to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Hope Griff appears soon Glad you got some bags Marion - the Tripp ones are fab and good quality too I have found some beer. Life is good again Have been out diving this morning, we went to Pigeon Island and saw turtles. We also snorkelled there in the shallower areas. It was really sad to see other tourists just standing up on the coral. As a diver we are taught to never touch the coral with our hoses/camera/dive computer as any touch can kill it. So to see people standing up on it is worrying Just thought, I think Louise BT is friends with griff on Facebook. I am friends with Louise. I'll message her to see if she knows if she's ok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
