Hi Kevin, I hope you're OK? Just wanted to say I'm missing you more than ever!!!! No doubt you'll have seen I've had a bit of a rough time since returning from holiday in early July!! First the electrics were out at home - cable under the kitchen floor had got 'corroded in the concrete' but I came up with an idea to avoid breaking the floor tiles and Paul C gave me the confidence to stand up to the electric repairers, so all sorted. Then Jason and family have left the flat after 6 years, so I've been really busy trying to sort that out, its been hard work and not something I relish doing (especially without you being there), but I think you'd be please with the end result? I'm trying but it's not easy, still not making much headway with finding new friends - just cannot work out what other peoples agendas are other than winding people up - it's a cruel world out there and I hate it a lot of the time. The garden's looking great, everything is growing well and I've caught up with trying to get things under control. The climbing rose on the patio looked amazing - you'd have loved it. Michael and Kate are coming down next weekend which will be nice and Michaels said he'd like to come and visit you, lets hope the weather's nice. Chat soon, Lots of love. Simon Xxx
