So 9.30am and we have completed. 10am - Money in the bank - won't be for log but sure looks good at the moment.

Also achieved our second trip to the  dump. My mother would have been proud.

Got rid of a the old settee and sadly, the Lowrey Tempest would not fire up and so has had to go.

All very civilised at the dump I have to say.

Getting there slowly !!!

Shut-Down Serenade today is Try for the Sun - by Donovan. I have been singing this song since I was 15, though I would have to admit that I was not aware that it was written and sung by Donovan, nor did I know all the verses. Most verses I have sung are bits and pieces of the original - learned while busking London and mainly from other buskers, so a form of Chinese whispers applies. However, the main thing that I discovered while researching for the serenades was that Donovan wrote about the Gipsy Boy and I. Which places a completely different meaning upon the whole song - especially as written int he 60's. However, this is the version I have always sung, with the correct words in places....

Try for the Sun

And so, we wait for Monday to exchange contracts for the purchase of Ffynnon Wen - though they are talking about completion in Friday next - I am hoping to do it more speedily... we shall see..

Cheers!
