Before Christmas I got a quote to have my front garden path re-done. It still has the original slabs from when we moved in in 1978! Anyway the guy dropped by yesterday to say they would start today. Well, I had quite a surprise this morning when this pulled up outside.

I was expecting a couple of blokes and a small lorry like the ones the council use. Luckily no one was parked right outside the house.

There was just one guy who lifted the slabs with a shovel, broke them, put them in the grab and hoisted them onto the lorry. It didn't take him long and he says 'hopefully' they will be back on Monday to level up and lay the new slabs. I hope so as I my path is now just dirt. Please don't rain!

I have now sold 5 of the items I put on Marketplace, all paid for and collected/delivered. I agreed to deliver some as it wasn't far away. And, this has now emptied a crate that was in the bottom of a cupboard. (So I can re-fill it with other things!)

I had a lovely video call with my friend Jackie today. She moved to the wilds of Lincolnshire just before Christmas. She gave me a tour of her new home which is a large bungalow with lots of land. I am hoping to go and see her some time this year and will also meet up when her husband services my caravan in a few weeks time.

Have fixed the little drawers I varnished to the wall ready to be filled.
