Well busy day!
Got up ridiculously early to go shopping. 7 a.m. I am still recovering.
Got to the market to find the cheese man was on holiday, so the long queue at his stall wasn't going to happen.
So bought other bits and bobs, ditto at the supermarket, and the hen feed place then went to our Dutch friends for our normal meet, coffee, chat and hand over of eggs and other produce. Rang the bell, no answer. We both decided that that was because they themselves were still shopping so waited, reading the papers. Eventually the wife showed up, turned out the husband had hurt his back and was in the house in bed all the time! Poor sod! Turns out also that she had ahad Covid so it seems likely that when we were down a while back we likely both caught it off her!
Still eventually got back to our place and worked like mad to tidy the place up before the peeps who are going to borrow the land turned up. They did, they enjoyed the coffee and cake, left us a couple of prezzies and we went off to survey the land. They are dead serious which is brill. They even showed me a "devis" for the insurance that they will be taking out on it/the horses. (turns out there will be two which makes massive sense as one on its own would get lonely.) Met the daughter who is lovely. Superb chat and vibe so everything is moving forward very smoothly.
Our neebs at home in the UK are kicking off about our CCTV camera. They had a go at dottir when she went over there. They really are a pile of poop.
Had yet another look into it and it is hilarious. No one can bother you about CCTV if you don't record anything, which we don't. So I will be contacting the plod who has already been involved in the case where the wife of said couple has been harassing both us and the opposite neigbours, who have since moved out.
The contrast between the basically brill neighbours that we have in Frogland and the poop ones we have in the UK, now the decent ones have moved out... Although our immediate neighbours in F land have a bit of ground to make up!

So enjoy the sleep folks!
