DIY around the house 1

Ok here's the thing, I'm not the most dexterous when it comes to doing DIY around the house. Everyone in my family knows this, hence a pretty easy time of it, our local tradesmen, friends nephews and neighbours are all aware of this as well, from the countless times herself has asked them to do this or that small job around the place as "he is completely useless around the house" her words or as they say a direct quote......

Anyway as things stand in the current climate we, like many others are more or less housebound and I am lucky to be able to work from home. After 3 years of asking me to hang a picture in our sitting room, she thought it was about time I hang it. After all I was home every day and my excuse of I cant right now, I have to get ready for a meeting etc didnt hold water. She looked me straight in the eye and said I want that picture hung today. I tried the old "my drill is busted" to which she replied it's ok, I bought you one and handed me a brand new drill. Exhibit 1 in the gallery attached.I had no choice but to agree.

Day 1

Day one of holiday and it would have to fall on Fri 13th, but we took a chance, everyone said you will be grand.

Yea right...however we got through 15 hours travelling, flight delayed by 4 hours left us sitting in Cork Airport which had the knock on effect when we arrived in Las Palmas airport our transfer to hotel had closed up and gone home so waited for the oldest bus on the island to take us all on a tour.

As is our luck we were the last stop so we got our appt at 11.30pm everything shut so were heading out to see if we can find a cow to milk for the cup of tea scavenge few eggs and mushrooms for breakfast if we can find a hen house.

Will report in later right now we have started our trek in the hotel bar so we will see how it goes.

Day 1
First cup of Barry’s tea to get us started for a week of R&R for the wedding of our good friends Sean & Niamh............25 degrees here at 8.45am going to be a scorcher.

Day 2
And so, the story continues., more wine. (Seemingly it’s a requirement) anyway, the sun seems as bright as ever a, little on the hot side as they say "you could fry an egg on a stone, if you had an egg" but we shall push on through regardless .......

Day 3 of our adventure. Supplies running low, the hot sun continues to bake us and those around us with unrelenting vigour. Ran out of eggs to fry since yesterday hence a long trek to replenish our food stocks with the necessities. A local staple is the "Pinocalada" by all accounts several good meals in one glass (so Dee tells me). We will continue despite the heat and report in again soon.
