Just turned up the volume having let Bocelli out of the closet and placed him in the music box - Summer wouldn't be Summer without "Tuscan Skies"! He's going to have to gargle a lot as he'll be singing frequently from now till September - do you think he would be a disappointment to meet?
Seriously though, isn't it amazing how a little of what you fancy can really brighten up your day. He is a bit of an inspiration considering what he's achieved so how can I not plough on with the housework and the readying of the house and garden for our soon to be guests. Must have Mr M take a look at the sound system as it's sounding rather tinny for some reason - no doubt I'll have sucked up a cable or two over the winter disturbing the acoustics when I pulled them back out of the vacuum cleaner!
I am in a bit of a silly mood this afternoon and needing to spread my cheer around - in fact this musical accompaniment reminds me somewhat of the year I spent here on my own playing music while taking in the sights and sounds of an evening up here on the hill "Home Alone" (hope I don't have to do that again in a hurry). Have to say my surroundings are a bit more pleasing than they were then so I guess we've progressed somewhat although I wouldn't say we've necessarily arrived at where we want to be - it's a work in progress.
Seems to me that the houses in the UK and new tenants are proving to be a work in progress too - two new electric showers (and the cost that comes with it) as both appear to be kaput! Can you believe that our Agents apart from charging 15% management fees per month now say we have to pay them another 15% extra commission on the bills for transferring funds from the rental account to the plumber. I refuse to play and have asked my sister to pop in and pay him as she's not too far away - just another £50 x 2 on the bill - can't work out how it costs so much to do a bank transfer from one account in Central Scotland to another Central Scotland account probably in the same street. The shower in our house has been tinkered with and siliconed back together with the broken fitment screws - I wish they would be more thorough with their inspections at end of tenancies or at least the tenants be responsible enough to tell us they did this - too late now (probably back in India where everything seems tickety boo else they might have stayed longer - thank goodness they didn't - hate to think what state the house would have been in if they had - it was bad enough!
Not going to let it spoil my lovely sunny day - I don't have to look far to know that others are suffering more and I wish they didn't have to so today at least I'm going to shut it out of my over taxed mind.
Off now for a stroll (or a dance) round the garden with a hosepipe. Shall have to ask the trees to slow down a bit or the Sun to shine less brightly else there will be no apricots for the GCs arrival. Have a lovely evening. It's so quiet on here I guess you must truly be making the most of the Bank Holiday! xxx
It's Summer and I've brought him out of hiding LOL
