Doohhhh I don't feel well!...

Sandra with the thing in the window at the Thai restaurant.

 Last Thursday Sandra and I went for a special treat to the Thai restaurant at Escrick near York for a stonkingly good meal.  Good job it was a special occasion there wasn't much change out of a hundred quid for the two of us but given all the running about Sandra has had to do for me and her dad since we returned home she deserved the treat.

A reminder of the village when we returned home

Unfortunately we had no sooner got the initial work finished in the house, which would enable our tenants to get their carpets down and get back to some form of normality, than I started to be ill with some lurgy.  The situation with my back has just about returned to it's normal levels of pain so I shan't need an operation just yet but this bug has laid my out flat.  So poor old Sanny is having to take up the slack yet again, she'll have to renamed "saint sanny".

I added the couple of photos of Yokefleet just to show how things were when we returned, it's looking more like the rural idle it is now with the exception of all the static caravans now in the village which people are using now as their homes for the next nine months to a year in some cases.  With this in mind our house got away with it very lightly as our tenants haven't needed to vacate the premises whilst the work is done.

A tad damp methinks.

Well that's about it for this week apart from to wish a speedy outcome for Les Carvall (he of the round the world drive fame) with his treatment for an aggressive form of prostate cancer.  He wanted to keep it quite while he completed his adventure and kept it a secret between himself and his physician in order not to give Vi an excuse to prevent him going.  Good luck you two guys.
