Here we are, right in the middle with a dark green roof.
Now try and find us from afar !

Installation of the solar panals and the new water pump.

Four day old puppies and the proud Mum.

It’s been a week of mixed fortunes. On Monday night the site was broken into and they stole a water pump and 3 doors. We were able to use the hotels CCTV and got a good idea of which van did the dirty deed but as yet nobody knows whom the van belongs to. The police are worse than useless, as they have failed to interview a witness or check out the CCTV. It would appear that they only record crime rather than investigate. Jeff then spent a long day going from one end of the Island to the other getting a new pump and collecting all the various plumbing bits to go with it. The progress on the house this week seems a bit slow but that is because a long time has been spent on positioning and fixing a large semi circular gallery window. It looks fantastic now it is in place and has dry wall around it.
We have had some really heavy rainstorms and our large water tanks are now a third full. There are no leaks in the roof or from the tanks, so that’s a relief.
I have kept myself busy with an odd assortment of tasks. The skipper on INXS, a mega yacht that has been here for a while, wanted a haircut, which I did with the clippers and it looked quite good. I have been giving daily injections to a friend who is anaemic and was also called upon to help with the delivery of puppies, one of whom wasn’t breathing too well and wouldn’t suck. All five are doing well now and it is difficult to see which one was the runt.
There was a concert last night in Chateau Mygo. Doreen’s cousin from Canada, Christine, came and sang a selection of songs. She is a professional singer with a wonderful voice. Unfortunately the keyboard player from the resident band didn’t read music, so she had to hum him the songs so he could pick up the tunes and then they performed them. It was a little bit makeshift but a very enjoyable night.
Our weekend off will include watching the England v. France rugby match at Discovery hotel, with a large French contingent. Most of the management at Discovery are French so there could be lots of lighthearted banter. Just hope we win though as they can be an arrogant bunch!! Whereas we are always magnanimous in victory or defeat-yeah I know, what a load of tosh!!
