Quite handy and cheap if you avoid some of the add-ons they keep thrusting into your face when ordering, and go for the slow post option.

Godfather to Georgia Bluebell
The Godfather and daughter
She was as good as gold on the day and afterwards. Blowing raspberries at the appropriate times in the ceremony.
It's not just birthdays you know. Hmmm, I better ask Angela when that is then and stick it into Outlook.

Moving home, why so heavy?
Feeding the fish
Time passes and stuff builds up. Not all junk mind, just bits of life.
Why are books so heavy? I supposed you are literally packing and lifting a solid block of wood, although it is probably true that wood is lighter as it has more air in its structure.
Must keep on packing and then feed the koi later. Fingers crossed that I don't kill the fish and turn the garden into a dump within a month!
New House
Got confirmation from the solicitor that the house purchase has completed this morning. Woo hoo!Now all that decorating to do. There's only so many times you can paint over the wallpaper.
Pity Rich and Jo have gone on holiday otherwise we could have shared a drink with our new neighbours.
Hairy landing at Bournemouth airport
Ssss--tttorrr--ppp!
What was scary though was the blooming landing. Having a window seat I could tell that we were already a fair way up the runway before we were close to touching down. Not a good sign. Once all tyres were on land the reverse thrust kicked in, water spraying everywhere.
I had the feeling that a lot of runway seemed to be passing underneath us and when the reverse thrust was so strong that it starting shuddering the plane I just began to see the lights that signalled the end of the runway coming into view. I thought, oh dear this could be tricky.
Luckily a final slam on the brakes brought it all to a sudden halt, with literally yards to spare. It was a tight turn to get the plane around and taxi towards the arrivals hut.
A round of applause went up and everyone was thankful for being OK despite all the wind and rain. Reminded me of our trip to Dublin which had just as adventurous landing but at least there were fire engines and ambulances ready and waiting.
