A cold & wet Bank Holiday.

Dear All,
We were awoken early this morning by our alarm going off!!No panic, as it was a fault yet again with the time setting. They have already been to fix it once, I managed to reset it & turn off the flashing lights.( My intuition says, is it never going to end!!)
It seems like this holiday will be a stay in & keep warm day.The sky has gone a distinct shade of dark grey.I must send John out to see if he can buy The International Express, then at least we can do the big crossword puzzle for entertainment.
We watched the movie' Cape Fear' last night.Last saw it many years ago, but Kevin my son has a large collection of DVD's which he sometimes remembers to offer us. Must say that it is one of those movies that doesn't seem dated, & still managed to scare me.
I still can't log on to my Acenet mail account.We bought a new Hard drive last saturday,& yesterday I was back at the shop with it. It wouldn't switch off!It was worked on for two hours while I waited patiently in the shop.Eventually the technition had to replace the motherboard as he realised that it was faulty.He also said that I could use my broadband connection to send & receive mail,thus saving on our telephone bill. Still can't work the dam thing though which is why I am writing my blog instead.
After our break in we are now having our two bay windows re furbished ( At a cost of course) hopefully after being properly prepared & painted they will last awhile longer, until we can maybe afford some new windows. The gate guy has been to measure up for a replacement garden gate,so hope that all these things get finished before we have our holiday next friday.
Then I really do promise myself lots of coddling.
Ah well! better finish this rambling. Bye for now Gilly.
