Cool.

The webcam is not showing up so well now. This was 7.50am, and 5pm. The day itself, was lovely and warm after about 10am. But it was pretty cold up at Spooks work, when he was heading home at 6pm and the moon was coming up over The Grand View Ridge.
I was cleaning a very expensive sort of farmhouse style place set on a big section (plot). It is going to be extremely plush when finished. In a couple of weeks we will be cleaning a place that is worth a few million. Not everyone is suffering in the recession. Mary said that the English window cleaner that she subcontracts to, has a holiday house and needs a cleaner for the winter season. He told Mary he would like to ask me to work for him. Mary was sputtering at the audacity, but I managed to look interested enough to guarantee iether a biscuit with the morning coffee which she regularly buys me, or a 2nd coffee in the afternoon! As if I would leave Mary. This man doesn't even DRINK coffee.
The childrens list, compiled last night, makes scary reading. Thankfully the chipmunk has been scored off after further research proved that it could be costly. The mouse is still on it, 2 goats, 2 pigs, a horse, chickens, guinea pigs, and maybe a hermit crab!! Now that they are confined to a house and small garden, they are thinking they have been wasting the space at home. Not sure where the hermit crab is going.
grateful for:
it getting near bedtime as Spook was called out at 5.20am so we have both been awake since then.
the fire being lit at 6am and therefore nice and cosy at breakfast time.
the lovely smell of bread cooking as I am trying a 'can't fail' recipe!!
