Bertha update - lid now completed and drying on the stairs - by which I mean form the third floor to the first. Two sides completed though none of the attachments have arrived yet - in bungee and strap form, Clips for the interior tapestries arrived. Frame sits nicely in the Bothy, and still seems to be room for everything. Task today - take out the frame so I can go to Pontardawe to help set up for the medieval fayre this weekend. At least it is very close....
Boxes update - Actually getting on quite well with the basement. More boxes filled yesterday and the decision to put the remaining costumes into suitcases to keep them clear seemed a good idea.
Task Today - possibly get one room in the basement clear...
House update - Got a call from Express the estate agents that want to sell the house for us. Still want to put it on at offers above £170K and they say that they are confident that it would get £180K but still well below my target. Will have to see what the local Estate agents say next week when the basement is clear. That seems to be my target now - to get the basement so that you can see that there are rooms there and then see what the market holds.
Task Today - same as boxes...
Video update - managed to complete Tink & Jamie wedding video and posted it to an unlisted site for them and uploaded to Pigsmayfly for them to download. Still working on Photo galleries.
Tasks outstanding - Still have a video for Totugo to start, the Drunken Monk Teddies animation, video for the Best man Speech at Tink & Jamie, still got some footage for Sara and Harry that has never been looked at. Also need to think about some more 16 string lyre stuff... Probably not today !!!
Whisky Galore... It seems that in 1996 149 litres of finest Speyside Whisky was put in a cask up in Scotland - in what seemed to be a great investment, a couple of thousand pounds for free storage and then 10 year old Whisky by the bottle very cheap... but it also seems that this was a scam. The cask is there - though a certain amount will have gone to the angels buy now - but the company storing it do not bottle or transfer, and now only offer to buy it back for £429.
Task Today - find someone who would transport and bottle the whisky and work out what the Government wants to take in revenue and whether it is worth getting form the cask to the bottle - may try Penderyn and see what they say...
Accounts - yeh - they need doing too!!!
Breakfast today was home made bread and eggs from the chickens. Eggsellent deep yellow yolks, and though they were small, one of them was a double yolker.... yummm
So, sitting here trying to let the breakfast go down and get on with the tasks of the day....
Not really helped by youngest daughter posting that it was another week of sunshine and heat in Crete... but if it was hot I would not want to do the work I need to complete....
Glass of diet coke and then get on I think....
