6th Jan 2011

I managed to drag the sodden rug out to under the terrace. It was so heavy as it was full of water and that was as far as it got.  I just didn’t have the strength to lift it over the railings. I then mopped up more water and lit the log burner. Things were looking up a little as the house warmed up. Mal had already emailed Steve (insurance) to ask him to visit and look at the water damage. I then went to Lena’s and collected Rosie. Lena invited me in for a coffee and so I caught up with all the gossip.

Rosie was very pleased to see me and as usual spent the rest of the day following me round everywhere.

I went and bought some shopping, fresh fruit and vegetables and also paid my annual fee for our Post Office Box….25tl.

I took Rosie for her evening walk and saw Kenny, so we had a long chat. It seems that the new dog at the Russian house barks non stop. He is kept outside and obviously doesn’t like it!

Mal well and truly has the ‘bug’ and I still keep on and on coughing and now realise I will have to go to the pharmacy to get antibiotics or it will never go. Steve is coming round tomorrow, so I will go to the pharmacy once he has been.
