My last posting was the middle of June. It’s now August. Anyone would think we’d been doing nothing for nearly two months. Well, that’s not quite true. There’s been

• my 60th birthday,
• a trip to Oxford,
• selling our Woking house,
• moving the remaining contents to Wadebridge,
• disposing of surplus furniture to charities in Woking and Wadebridge,
• a visit by Ellie,
• clearing removal boxes from the house in time for –
• a week’s visit by Diana’s brother Martin and his family,
• various surfing trips to Polzeath beach,
• more tidying up of removal boxes in the garage,
• putting up tool racks and shelves in the garage and
• disposal of further items to charity and the recycling centre.

Plus, I discovered that the reason the trackpad on my laptop had ceased to click was that the battery directly beneath it had expanded fit to bust. So when I moved my mouse, it thought I was in the middle of a click-and-drag initiated on the trackpad and just highlighted areas. This, as you might imagine, made doing stuff on the laptop a trifle problematic. Anyway, I got a new battery, at great expense, and am back in action. Will blog more on some of the above at a later date.

Anyway, we no longer have a Woking presence, we are permanently in Wadebridge, and would love to see friends and family here. We accommodated five with Martin and family, so we’ve proved we can do it!
