A message from HR

Thought you may like an update on HR and his new wife. He calls her Joke although that isn't her real name. A bit of in house humour I think!

Anyway they are both beginning to settle in as you can see. Our love goes to both of them.

The two cats we inherited froim Relianna (Speedy and Spanky) have relaxed and I fitted a cat flap which I then had to demonstrate with my head and a smile to encourege them to use it).

On the down-side : I have had to clean the areas scented by some local toms and have spent the last feew days smelling of Paco Rabanne and cats pee !

They have had  a free reign in the relatively short time the house has been unocupied ; but a few power-projections by me have re-established the territory.
They will be backed up by water from the hose and a super-soaker as appropriate ( feel free to put any of this on the blog by the way !).

I must admit the accelerated rust-streaks on my pillar drill and that all-pervading smell on a lot of the equipment which had been delivered by me in the van a few weeks ago really cheesed me off.

Joke is as happy as I could ever have hoped and there is a definite change in her demeanour when she comes here. She is relaxed at last.
Once we move from Sylvenne in Winsum it will definitely be a step into our future.

I asked if she would like to name the house and she immediately said "Carpe Diem". So we are going to get a name-plate made in slate or wood.
we are interpreting the expression in the context of "making the most of the day" ; or not wasting the day.

So lots of positives here in NL ; it`s a windy and greyish day but a happy one.

I will sign off cos my back is aching !

All the best,

Love Bob and Joke.
