Getting ready nothing to do but eat


Well nearly time to go I see. You've been spring cleaning, washing windows not your best attempt, you haven't shrunk any curtains and the soapy wood cleaners nearly finished.Not much to do really as everything is already in Kos.

You weren't too happy in the post office when he stamped your International Driving permit and didn't understand your joke about Quad bikes but you did get a round of applause from the queue when you said you were upsticks and retiring to Kos.

Osc's running you a merry dance with his hang cat expression looking like a waife and stray. Reminds me of a Freemason with his trouser leg turned up half mast and his bare midriff....oops sorry that's a secret. No wonder you've taken to eating family sized trifles rather than drinking at least that way you can speed off to the Vets if needs must. And he's cost you a small fortune in vet fees, better not cancel the payments until he's landed in Kos.

Two plumbers in a week who'd have thought, one to mend your leak in Greece and the other to service your boiler not to mention your crash course in plumbing DIY with Big Nige to mend your toilet. Liking the new pond cover as part of your health and safety equipment pity the seagulls haven't grasped the fact they can't get at the fish now disporting their wares as they frollick in the pond up to that funny business again.

Lawn could do with a cut and bindweed pulled before the neighbours complain again about fence invasion and drive rights 'freedom zone to weeds'. Anyone would think they had nothing better to do.Just because their retired hope your not going to be like that in a few weeks when you've finished work in 8 weeks (not counting)

Well not much to do I guess but nip out for a walk and a little bite to eat. Those sandwiches at Clymping Beach were in the same category as your Family Trifle at least you'll have a better diet in Greece, greek salad, souvlaki and plenty of fruit and maybe a little ice cream.

Even shopping is off the agenda as you've only made room for one suitcase and hand luggage to collect with the cats when you touch down. So guess the garden might look neat and tidy by the time you hand it over to the tennant.
