Tonights post was prompted by dads appearance on BBC radio Jersey this morning at approximately 7:07am. It's a short interview about mum that was recorded before Christmas and you can listen to it by clicking here and going to the 1:07 mark.
January seems to have come and gone very quickly. I managed to get off island once to go to the O2 arena in London to watch an NBA (basketball) game, which was excellent. The NBA have started playing the occasional game in a different country to try and promote the league abroad and so London was lucky enough to host the Washington Wizards vs the New York Knicks.
Dad has been taking care of the dogs as per usual. Jessie has recently had another instance of getting 'bunged up' which is no doubt in part to eating dodgy things such as cow poo, dead crows, and goodness knows what else. This has lead to vet visits and much rejoicing when she finally 'laid a steamer'.
Beanie and Jessie joined Jack and Dan the other day in 'helping' to dig a trench for a pipe. The weather was terrible and Beanie got so muddy she found herself with dreadlocks.
Daniel has managed to get away to go over to Salcombe for a couple of days to check out the new Seafari boat which is currently being built in preparation for the 2019 season.
My life at the moment currently revolves around working, and attempting to fix the truck. In the last few weeks I've had the truck down with DLC in Gorey who's basically completely replaced the entire brake system, which is good for my safety if you consider that my knees are the crumple zone. Other great news is that ATF fuels have just opened at Maufant garages and their petrol is under £1 a litre (my fuel consumption is under 10 miles per gallon). I might have been better off to buy a boat instead!
As far as woodworking goes, I managed to complete a set of live edge shelves that I'd been building for the best part of a year.
There are some more photos here on my Instagram. I'm really proud of it, although I realised I could never actually make any money from my woodwork given the time that i've put into it.
Lovely to hear from you Tom and thank you for the link to the radio with your dad. He made a good point saying how one must go to be checked out if you don’t feel something is right. I am very impressed with your woodwork. You have all been very busy ! Thanks again for the update 😊😊x
