65 Days to Go...

Well people are dropping like flies at work. Gemma phoned in sick this morning and then by lunchtime Horatiu had to go home - he looked all in.  Guess it might be the same bug that laid me low last week.  Should be interesting tomorrow as I have to go to Taunton and Dorchester so the department could well be unmanned.

John seems to have had a really busy day today - he will be in his element!  I bet he and Dad have had a brilliant day striking things off of the 'ToDo List'.

I had a call first thing from his newly 'Cyprus Sim Carded' mobile.  We have communication!!!  We will have even more next week when CYTA connect a phone line to 10B along with a 2Mb internet connection.  Its a bit pricey compared to here but it will be a lifeline for us.  If we are lucky we should be able to get our television through the internet and that would be an awful lot cheaper than a satellite dish. 

John has also arranged for the Solar panel man to install the panels next week along with the water tank and water pump.  It looks like it should come in for less than we had expected so that's good - hot water without having to put on the immersion heater for the best part of the year cannot be a bad thing.

The kitchen might not be quite so straightforward as the inset sink is much more expensive than we had realised - so looks like we will go for an ordinary one which will save on the worktop cutting too.  I know that whatever he chooses John will ensure that it looks good - it cant look any worse than it does at the moment because there is bugger all in there!!
