holyhead ferry terminal

It's ages since i've been here I seem to have been tied up doing other peoples business flitting from Holyhead to Denbigh as the sales for the shops slowly go through, making a note of tradesmen needed ie roofers!! and making myself known at the local councils for planning etc, meeting suppliers and organising a stand at the Anglesey show and trying to buy a marqee all really quite exciting and and me going widdershins back to my old trade as a shopkeeper Yes!!! i'll be manning my own shop in Denbigh and i've managed to snag "The earth collection" for north wales (good priced clothing in natural fibres and ethicaly made Etc etc) .All i need now is some money and Wah la!!! ..

The down side Stuck in doors all the time!! and dealing with the general public!! AGAIN you'd think i would have learned by now but needs must... and this time i'll have a computer to keep me saneish!!

Yesterday in all that typical Rain was our first course of the year "Drystone walling" wet stone more like, everyone was drenched but having a great time..Tomorrow i have a hedgerow course to do what we are going to cook i don't know?? maybe make Gorse mead, or nettle soup and i've spotted some water cress! i'll see what the day brings .

The workshops arnt nearly busy enough to live off and i need to be kept busy or else i get toooo lethargic especially this time of the year When we get 1 glorious day and 6 shitte one's, i can't seem to motivate myself to one job and try to do Ten and finish none so i give up and read..

The photo above is from the back window of the holyhead shop not much but when a ferrys docking it's really good.............

Another ordinary day...

It's been a good week a busy week. we've been looking around for a property for our son to buy and renovate, and it looks like we've found it our offers been excepted so i'll be spending a lot of time in holyhead in Anglsey over the next few monthes, getting the shop up and running for sorrel [its a shop and flat] i'm quite looking forward to it .. and not only that its really close tothe ferry 200yds, so i'll be nipping over to ireland i imagine...

This Morning i dropped of nell in llanrwst, and then went to the police station for a visit [I'm well known there]..buying crumpets and butter on the way. As i strolled up a voice boomed out "WELL they're an offence for a start " pointing at my jazzy wellies!! Ha very funny!!! Then hugs and kisses all round xx and then coffee and crumpets with my dear friend M and the other duty police it was lovely to see them all again [ i ran a shop for 6yrs and they all used to come in for a warm] What a laugh we had reminding me of all my old Mad customers one in particular, it's a shame but she had a false arm, not a real one but an old mannequins one! completely out of proportion to the rest of her body, holding a sellotaped on ciggy!!!! ..Well when i first met her i didn't notice and she lost her balance!! and the blumin thing came from out of her sleeve as i tried to catch her!!!!OOOOPS i just stood there gobsmacked holding it!!! she took it back off me calmly shoved it up her sleeve!! LIT the Cigarette and walked off !!!!!!! with me standing watching with my gob wide open !!! it's funny now! well it was witnesed by a police lady who came up and said "Don't worry it always comes off when we arrest her you get used to it"...And the time some Nutters tried to steal my Till !! pffeeee no bloody chance...And the man masturbating while looking at the pine furniture ????? Yep i've got some fond memories!!! will i go back to the shop to work hmmmmmm maybe............................Not cos of the wanker though..

object among the debris,standing aghast at the sight of her dead father with the evidence of his hideous crime on his own breast; there came the sound of a cry to "Henry" for help! I beat my head against the bedstead till i was nearly stunned. I yelled and bellowed like.........
I'll tag pilli and woozle and sbs xx

Mad dogs and wwoofers!

Well here i am 2 dogs better off the house smelling of detol and vosene, and i'm jiggered.. i'm so used to just opening the door and letting them go but having to watch the grey who is a marker every chair every corner as been sprinkled!! and duly disinfected, Both washed in Anti dandruff shampoo and groomed so lots of wet towels and jeans and me in need of a bath....The greyhound is being called Bryn he seems to respond to it so it must sound near enough like his own name! As for Wally ?? for now when we bathed him you can see he is supposed to be a huge dog big bones! but he is just a skeleton and he as very little appetite lively enough though and very gentle, when i had a minutes piece this morning i sat down with a sigh and he sat opposite at eye level quite unnerving looked directly in my eyes and lifted his paw My gawd a lurcher thats trained and he his he sits, lies down and crys to go out, i'm just scared he won't come back if i let him loose.. He's missing somebody bless....

This morning Monty changed his routine and went to visit my neighbours {no pun intended in Neighbours] up hill why does he always go up hill!! my poor legs..Meanwhile there had been a tesco delivery to my house and pearl who speaks no english had signed for it and put it all away!!
The only thing was it wasnt mine ooop's it was the neighbours!
I'll be glad to get the house back to myself i always feel constricted when people stay, and feel i should be out there with them, but theres not enough to do in jan unless the weathers good and we have been blessed with a few good days and made the most of them except sunday glorious day and she stayed in bed because it was sunday! argghh...

The second day she was here [giggleing to myself] At teatime we had done a roast dinner, and i saw here pick up the gravy boat and drink from it! ! what!! No no i said and showed her how to pour the gravy on her potatoes! Well bloody hell it wasnt gravy it was black tea! she'd used the jug as a cup she still ate all her spuds though, i think she thought i was mad....

Cleaning tip's that's a laugh!

Well What can i say the only tip i have is the one i live in !
Naa it's not that bad honest.
Well if it can be hoovered i hoover it the inside of the Stanley especially and the ceiling [i've been known to mop the ceiling but we won't go there!
If my windows are dirty or misted double gazing, i stick up Net's until i'm in the mood to sort properly!
An old toothbrush to bleach around my window frames a bit anal i know but they get black mould and i'm allergic to it...
Best tip move house and start again!
Ahh news papers for making your windows shiny! not that i do it at home but the shop front always looked good......
