Presumably deaf


The tikes and their friends finished partying in their swimming pool at a little after half past two this morning. We know this because this is when the screaming and belly flops finished. The tikes parents are away and they are being looked after by their ( presumably clinically deaf ) grandparents.

Sophie did not find the early morning belly flopping to be conducive to a good nights rest. Every hour or so she would wake and let us know there was 'activity' in the village.


This morning she is bright and full of energy. She is certainly brighter and more full of energy than her sleep interrupted companion .


A 'so so' collection of cakes at the bakers and a 8.3/10 croissant at the cafe start our overcast and heavy Sunday morning.

The Old Mayor is up early. He and the man who is responsible for the Christmas decorations are hard at work on the church door. They plan to install a new lock to replace the current one which has a temperamental mechanism. I shall be given a new key when they're finished. The Christmas decorations man has a collection of power tools in the boot of his car. 'Get it done in no time' he says cheerily while holding a drill in his left hand.  I leave them as they discuss where they might find an electrical  socket .

You are going to leave us in suspense on the croissant this morning? It looks very good, although we know looks can deceive, so I will guess it is an 8.5/10.

Any of those 'so so' cakes would suit me find this morning.
Maybe someone in the village has a super long extension lead? Or maybe Angus will be dealing with the temperamental lock for some time to come?
Cheers! Gail.

Nobby - You can be sure that even something as simple as the lock repair will throw up new and unexpected 'issues'.

Perfect timing on the last line.

Sophie looks as though she's not had an interrupted night and is waiting to sample today's curly croissant ends. The offering looks quite acceptable to me, but it's all about flavour and texture.
If Christmas decorations man has an electric drill but no suitable extension cable or no handy socket, then the lock will be safe from "issues" for a while.
