Google I love you

Out of ten people only two managed the meal last night, and I was one of them. Weather stopped play, but Mz Physio and myself had a lovely meal, in wonderful surroundings, and chatted away the evening whilst scoffing down our food.

My Beloved and I thought it would be safer to give Mz Physio a run up the road, rather than open the restaurant door and see how quickly she could fly. We dropped her off and toddled off up to the house, and yep it was still there, it was leaning severely, but was withstanding all that the winds could throw at it.

Its amazing what you can find on Google, having to itemize every teaspoon, kitchen appliance, toothbrush and numerous other implements of torture, we then had to price them, then price them in our destination country and then convert to dollars, how did we ever survive without google, type in your product name and voila you get given a price, simple.  Then all we have to do is add the cost of living increase, because yes there is an increase in Israel, then convert that figure to dollars, it's so much easier when you work together.  Sitting room and dining room done, although I have to say if the list had been put together by me that would have been one room, but apparently the Mapa had it down as two.  The conservatory is now know as the family room WT.... thats done too, and we are half way through the kitchen.  All small appliances have been priced we just have the pots and pans, crockery and glassware and cutlery to finish, then we can move upstairs.

My Beloved was on a death threat if he went up the ladder to the roof and re-fit the down pipe that had blown off last night. So the fact that he threw himself out the upstairs window doing some kind of SAS forward roll onto the garage roof to fix the pipe has led to him being threatended with double death if he tries anything stupid like that again....I would threaten to kick him in the nuts, but why cut off your nose to spite your face.

The snow has returned although minimally, this didn't stop the car behaving badly on the way into Aberdeen, My Beloved had to drive at 40mph to keep the car on the straight and narrow, but don't worry it got its own back when we arrived and travelled over Haudagain Roundabout, not the best place to have a stroppy car throw itself all over in a hissy fit.


We arrived at the Machurian Restaurant to celebrate Little Prince No 1's birthday, now we are talking about her last birthday as it's been so long since her birthday I swear she must be due another one soon. We chose, we waited and then we ate, now I feel sick as a sick piglet.  One should never try to eat ones body weight in Singapore noodles because its gonna end badly, and it is.  I'm currently recumbant on the sofa whilst blogging, lucklily being quite reflexible means this is not too difficult, but there is no way I can re-fill my glass, but hey what's the point of having Prince's and not exploiting them.
