Starting Work

Back in May - DD had a problem with a thirsty Rat who caused a considerable amount of  Uninsured damage to her Kitchen. You can see the Original Post Here * What Happened in May


It has been a Nightmare - 
Physically, Emotionally and Financially.

Repairing the mess started with the Pantry Repairs and Re-fit.

(Unfortunately we can't make it any bigger - Just more efficient).

In the meantime the floorboards they have, are no longer available 

SO, instead of a small repair... 
the entire ground floor now has to be replaced.

(Taking the opportunity to remove some truly awful Carpet)



And amid all the mayhem - 

GD#3 made sure that Grandpa got ZERO work done!


Look Mum - No Hands!

I love this Photo - It shows TOTAL TRUST

Hello 2025

Not the best start to the New Year.
Yet, Somehow Snoopy always knows what to say...


We didn't know that Miss P's 2nd Birthday was the Last time we would talk.
The Diagnosis was brutal and They Lost Him Four Days before Christmas
Four Days after New Year we said our last Goodbyes.

Our SIL lost his Dad
Our Grandchildren lost their Abeulo
All too soon.

Rest Easy Carlos.
