13th May 2010

Eastenders was a day late and so I downloaded that and then Rosie and I went to the ravine, meeting David walking Jekka on the way. He said he had just seen two black snakes in the ravine, so I stamped my way along the footpaths when I got down there. I guess the hotter it gets the more they will be attracted to the water. When I spoke to him about all the building noise he then informed me that Ali Semi is going to build another TEN houses, this really is never ending.

A wander around the garden and one of the cacti has started flowering and the lantana is covered in Red Admiral butterflies.

I spent the rest of the day cleaning up, cleaning the pool and packing ready to go to the UK, to have my ‘week’ of 60th birthday as Mal has promised. I leave the house in the capable hands of Ingrid.  Mal has been working hard so that he can take the time off from marking.

My flight was originally 7.30 am the following day but CTA in their wisdom decided to change it to 5.30am but then I suppose I should just be thankful that CTA still exist! I decided to go to bed and see if I could get a little sleep!
