fence-ness is now only a matter of weeks away; I have some residual doubts as to whether a mere fence will keep the wascally wabbits out, but that's what I'm paying for.

my front hall is a jumble of Things for Pub, not to mention the garage; fixed lamp, bedcover to exchange for current one, random mouseproof kitchen containers, an old rug I bought on eBay - you get the idea. really looking forward to some good tree planting action at the end of May.

meanwhile, rental bookings continue to arrive, meaning the mooted price rise is partially underway, depending on what ad people were attracted by - a slightly confusing system, I know. rentals, of course, are an insignificant fraction of what the roof is going to cost to fix. and I mean insignificant.

oh, and if you're "Amanda" who left a message on my mobile about a booking this morning? please ring again and leave your actual number; you said "this number", but my phone didn't capture any number in particular for me to call back on. Caller ID doesn't always solve the problems it should.
