Long time no post!! Doesn't time fly when you are enjoying yourself?!! Life in the village has settled back into its rather monotonous, simple pattern - making us both feel secure and happy. The weather is still crazy with heatwaves, then stormy periods with lightning and thunder, then a bit cooler, then hot again. We managed to mow the lawn this time, thus saving ourselves one lot of 10.000Ft. When it is hot and the grass grows slower, you can keep on top of it.
The roses are still very pretty and the grapes are close to harvesting again. Roy is never happy unless he has a project on the go and this time he was building a memorial to my parents whose ashes we brought home from the cemetery. This saved us 50.000Ft in renewal fees and having them this close will make us feel closer to them and we can look after them with flowers etc. easier. The heavy work is now done, but I am thinking of creating some pretty borders round it with flowers and/or a hedge. Not quite the right season for it, but we'll see.
Last Tuesday I had my checkup with the homeopath lady, who told me that I can relax a bit on the diet. I am so concerned about the effect this would have, that I have not gone mad, but am having some peaches and apricots which are delicious. I also made a small rhubarb crumble with this funny sugar I am allowed to have and it was not very sweet. Still it is a step in the right direction and every little advance is most welcome. The next checkup is in about a month or so's time, we'll see then how it goes. I have also put on a couple of kilos, although Roy is very pleased with the new svelte me and requests that I do not put all of it back, if possible. I agree. Especially that I now fit into my old Rohans which have not fitted me for at least 5 years. Not to mention the marvellous saving of at least £100 which I can make with wearing an old evening gown to Stephen's wedding. This gown has not fitted me for at least 10 years or more. It is actually really gorgeous, made of wine coloured velvet with a matching embroidered silk shawl in a similar colour, just in lighter shade. Hopefully you will see it on the pictures next month.
Must go now as I am watching the Lewis DVDs that Steph and Alan gave me. I have so far seen one and a half episodes and I liked them. The tone, pace and atmosphere of them are very similar to Morse and I do like the young Fox. He will not bring shame on the dynasty I am sure.
