Here's Nick crawling about in the ceiling putting in bats to keep his Mum nice and warm in the winter. It's a devil of a job in any house but especially so here as my roof is flat -not much room to move around. And as soon as he'd finished that he was down in the basemement stapling insulation to insulate the basement so the draughts won't come through. So Jordy will be nice & cosey when he comes to stay.
Then off he trotted to the DIY store to pick up handyman bits & bobs and picked up a water blaster on the way home. ( That one didn't work so back he went again and came home with a big noisy commercial one....and boy, has that worked well - That's been my job today and it's really satisfying to have the wee house looking sparkly. Nick thinks that this is the preparation for the paint job he's going to do .....as well as replace some rotten window frames...and cut down big bushes...and scrub the moss out on the spoutings....and fit in a trip down South for Xmas...and maybe have a look at Central before he flies out New Years Day!!!! hmmm
Nick's 2nd in command is Wayne. These boys have been great pals since Playcentre so that's over thirty years now and wee Connor loves coming to hang out with Uncle Nick. Wayne's lent us his trailor for a couple of days so I'm grabbing this opportunity to throw all the junk out that's been accumulating for the last wee while. ( Nothing of your's David - promise! )
Alas, we didn't have time for Jordy TV but we did manage Jordy Radio. Honestly that wee boy was chatting away to me like a regular Irishman - It was so so funny...I'd ask him a wee question and then he would babble babble babble...another question....babble babble babble. And I had his photo propped up in front of me so it was almost Jordy TV. David & Dora said that they were with Nick & I in spirit as we beavered away but think they know they have the right idea on how to spend a Sunday!
But I am so so amazed at Nick's stamina and get up and go.....and he's nearly as old as me now too ( hee hee )
