Well if it fell off she'd in be in dead stchtuck with the pool owner!
Which is why most peeps only allow plastic glasses around a pool!
But yes, very impressive!

Morning, I am really hoping for a downpour today. Crops need it.

Small splash of rain smornin.

We have woken up to "gorillas in the mist".
It is faintly drizzling so we finished the roof just in time.
Supposed to be up to about 28 and sunny by 15hoo. when our friends are coming to dip their bods!!
Maybe they'll still come, it'll be 31 where they live, doon the toon!
We'll see!
Have a good day folks!

Mediterranean slash of rain here ... then nowt ...

Forecast for more laters tho

Morning all I should have taken the day off, still feel as if im on the boat.

Morning All.
A bit muggy here.
No rain till after 5pm it says here.
Have a lovely day!

We booked a cottage we have used quite a lot in the past in the Dales for this Xmas, it has changed hands and W sent £100 to secure it for 2024 in 2023.
She later sent another £350, comms with the new owners hasn't been good.
We normally paid £450.
The new owner now says we still owe £250!
No rental agreement, nowt. Our fault, we have been so trusting as peeps up there are normally so decent.
W has checked and to be fair the prices have shot up.
Not happy.

I have been looking at the number plate and wondering what on earth it spells, something to do with BOGG?

We have emailed said burd who runs the holiday cottage, asking for an invoice and the dates before we send the rest of the dosh.
I told W she should ask for a rental agreement, but she wouldn't.

Do you have a previous agreement from the old landlord ?

Until that is superseded is it not applicable ? (dependant on the timing of your initial deposit to the old landlord)

Wife assures me that yes we will have them in a filing cabinet back in blighty. She is good at keeping paperwork.
But she sent the deposit to the new landlord.
TBH this isn't really going to be a problem I expect, but the huge price increase came as a bit of a shock.

Depends if:

It's worth it ?

You can negotiate a lower price ?

Find somewhere else cheaper/better ?
