Tuesday Busy day of work, obviously Meow thought she wasn’t getting enough attention however so insisted that Matt play with her more. All of a sudden we heard a really loud noise and went to investigate. I’m still not sure what it was that they were carrying below the helicopter – ideas on the back of a postcard please (or just in the comments would also work, but I like
Read moreSaturday Well they just missed spending Mum’s birthday with us but it’s great to have them coming over. I was completely confused where they were coming from – I’d mixed up Valbonne with Narbonne and had no idea why they were going to take so very long to get here. It did make me all the more impressed that they did come to visit, despite my reminders that it is
Read moreWednesday Back to normal again today. I’m doing some more work for Lambeth and Matt has lots of calls. In addition, I stripped the beds and got the sheets on to wash, folded all the laundry that’s been sitting around for last week and had a short break in the afternoon between calls as was far too hot and needed a swim. Meow however thinks it’s too hot and she
Read moreThursday Lee and Vicky (aka “the kids”) arrive this evening so between work we were busy getting the house ready for guests. They’ll have to share their room with a big stack of insulation but even then it’s bigger than most hotel rooms. Thankfully they are getting the train down too so that buys us some extra time as there is a lot to do and a lot of work
Read moreMonday Matt is coming home today which I’m rather excited about. I’ve got lots of work to do though and keen to get as much done as possible before he comes home so we can spend some extra time together. Dinner was the last of the defrosted lasagne that mum had made – thanks, it was delicious! Matt’s on a late flight though and it also seems that it’s been
Read moreSunday A simple day of rest and relaxation after all the guests and excitement it’s quite nice to be able to sleep in and do nothing all day apart from a bit of cleaning up. [1 August 2022] Monday Meow is not the best business cat but she’s apparently trying. Better when she is behind the laptop than on it though. Delivery arrived today. Our new TV for the living
Read moreMonday Work and Sunflowers for me! Finally Matt has arrived back from the Grand Prix, he’s also brought Brandon Potter with him [hence the blog title in case you were wondering.] Brandon was there [or at least not long after the moment] that Matt and I first met in Switzerland, he was also Matt’s housemate when we first started dating. By the time that they arrived they were both exhausted
Read moreThursday Matt has to be off early this morning as it’s a good few hours across to Circuit Paul Ricard. He also has to pick up Brandon from Marseille on the way. As always I’m sad he’s leaving me but at least Tonia is here to keep me company. Matt: Brandon has won another points auction, this time for a 3-day paddock club pass at the French Grand Prix, and
Read moreFriday Chantal – The morning started like any other, with me working hard surrounded by my new pack. I had quite a bit to get on with while the boys were just lazing about. Business cat may be the head of the office but at least Basil and Woody don’t walk over the keyboard and send random things! Later – Doggy Daycare moving time. It seems that the dogs aren’t
Read moreFriday Tonie – So, today I knew I needed to do the big chore I was supposed to do yesterday but decided to make the most of the sun, and that this is my holiday after all. To be honest though, it was one of my preferred chores. Like any good DJ, my job was to bring the roof down! It was hot and hard work but breaking stuff is
