Into June and sunshine at last...

One of the grand daughters has turned into a snake!

 Well we seem to have finally welcomed in a taste of summer this week.  we've gone from needing heating on to being able to wear shorts in the space of about three days.

Clifford's tower in York centre.

At least that has allowed me to get all the grass cut but I'm afraid that for the moment cutting hedges, especially as many and as big as mine, is out of the question so we've employed a little old Irish guy, who our son knew, to do our hedges a couple of times a year as well as keep Sandra's dads garden in trim.  We sort of mentioned the possibility of having someone to do it for him a couple of weeks ago.  He of course being stubborn the next day tried cutting his hedges and completely exhausted himself, so now he has help whether he wants it or not!

The old Guitar is getting hammered.

We took No.3 son to York the other night for a company booze up.  Whilst he was getting slightly inebriated we went to our favourite Thai restaurant in Escrick and had a fabulous meal, we do like Thai food and it's good for us diabetics.  Whilst waiting for John in York, at about ten thirty, I took the picture above of Clifford's Tower, can't believe how light it is here on a night now.

Thought I would put in the picture of one of John and Fi's Snakes which have been entertaining me while we have been looking after the Grandkids.

Finally I have been giving it hell on the guitar for the last couple of weeks in an attempt to get some more dexterity into my left hand.  It seems to be paying off because now it just sounds bad rather than abysmal.  It's getting better all the time but all things are relative!

Just a note to Linda Paisley, I will post pictures of your challenge when I get around to doing it, the kids were out playing all day when we were with them after you had set it so we've not yet had the opportunity.
