Bob Cratchit got Christmas Day off as it's a public holiday and not a bank holiday.

No bank holiday for us; we had a civic holiday earlier in the month. Next weekend is the Labor Day long weekend ... this is the last long weekend of the summer; school begins on September 2 .... that means everything is sorta getting back to normal.

I'm on my own this B H as Nik and Laura are in Halkidiki (so the house is clean and very tidy). Today I have trimmed the beech hedge next to my drive, collected about 30 lbs of apples off my tree and pruned the tree as much as my 5'1" stature would allow (must get my 6'4 grandson over to lop the higher branches). Later I made 2 jarfuls of rosehip syrup from the hips I collected yesterday; I pruned the rose hedging at the same time as collecting the hips.

Tomorrow I will be pruning my next-door neighbour's apple tree, or at least the branches that are hanging over my side of the fence. I always give him the apples and I think he just throws them away, which is mad because they are delicious. Apart from that I will be doing not much at all.

So far i've cleaned the kitchen and the front room. Going to make a start on the bathroom soon. Got relatives coming and stopping Thursday (going to a family wedding on Friday) until after the weekend so hopefully Thursday afternoon i can just give the house a quick wipe, dust and hoover which should be enough to make the house clean again. Hopefully i will have time to nip down to Wilkinsons and pick up a hair dye which i want to put on this afternoon. That's my bank holiday.

LIving in Spain is realy a drag....got out of my pit at ten.
Showered, shaved and added all the smelly stuff.
Went to the pool and dipped my torso.
No rain..No wind...No Dipsticks.
Life is hard.
Bank Holiday.....Love it.
