Dust and Food

It wasn’t a great night, my Hayfever is really bad at the moment, by far the worst it has ever been and I woke up at about 5 and sat in the livingroom for an hour and a half before getting back to bed. As a result I am like a half shut knife today. I cant figure out why the hay fever is so bad at the moment, the NHS website suggests an allergy to dust so I decide we will have a grand clean today.

Susan walked the dogs and after breakfast we started the clean, just the bedroom but we cleaned every nook and cranny, sucked the dog hairs up and washed walls, doors, floor, even the lamp shades got the treatment. Hopefully that will make it easier to sleep. Susan thinks it might be the flowers on the balcony so we’ll move them and see if that helps.

After that as we were in the mood we had a little clean round the rest of the house, we’ll need to have a great clean in 2 weeks before we leave here so no point in doing it now. However I did the ironing and washing, it is quite good washing knowing that it’ll dry as soon as you hang it out.

Again it is really hot, strange looking at the weather for Scotland and seeing cold and rain, even hailstones in Aberdeen I believe then seeing that we can pretty much expect sun and blue skies for the next 2 weeks with temperatures in the 30’s.

By this time it was mid afternoon and far too hot to go out so it was another few hours in the house reading books and watching Only Fools.

One thing we have tried to do many times before was have dinner in Quercus, a lovely restaurant in Jimera so we decided to give it a try tonight. It is a lovely restaurant and the food is excellent, it was very quiet which is a shame – I hope it does well as I’d hate to see it fail. We had a good night, and it got busier later on.

Back home to the dogs and off to bed.

Could it be that you are allergic to noxious fumes emerging from a certain canine?

You might well be right although his farting has stopped now.

I remember the first time we stayed in the Cortes area. We stayed in the cottage to the right of the bank in Estation, owned at the time by Ken and Frankie.

One day Norma and I decided to take a walk down the river, we past the donkey that seemed to live down there and where going,past a farm with a big four wheel drive outside. Well we got it in our heads that it was like a scene straight out of the film Deliverance.

We did not know what to do laugh or run, The family in the farm must have thought we had lost the plot but you should have seen them. I will not say what they looked like but if you are down that way again have a look it is the last farm on the left.

If anyone starts playing a banjo, start running.........FAST!
