As we have so much work to do and aren't getting time to write we might do a 'week commencing' style blog for a while and only write on Mondays.Today I began to paint the wooden bases of 10 sun beds. It was one of those 'if you want something doing…' moments. Obviously as soon as I'd settled down to enjoy an afternoon in the hot sun wearing my shorts and happily painting I got called away to sort out housekeeping again.Tuesday.

We went out shopping today. With Eve it's a much more relaxing experience, Sam seems to remember where the brake pedal is and Eve is a no nonsense shopper.

On the way back to the main drag a guy c...

It was huge and orangey brown with a black face. It didn't stay long and I didn't have my camera but it is still cool to have monkeys in your back garden.Demolish the barThis evening we agreed to go to St Anthony's with the boys. It was karaoke night and Michael was very excit...
