Friday

Been to see Fivemum always good for a laugh. I fixed her computer, damp again and full of fluff, had to reseat the mem chips, now i'm a computer god to her. Hubby wondered about one of the kids saying that her bedroom wall was wet. We went outside and admired the water running down the wall...They kept saying it was the (very very rotten) thatch, but i mused that it looked more like a water tank leak, which girded hubby to go up in the loft to find it was indeed the water tank, and an awful lot of the roof frames etc are rotten. The farmer really ripped them off with that house, its riddled with rot and the septic tank requires them to sneek out undercover and pump it out onto another farmers field every tow weeks...They have also badly fallen out with the farmer over the option they had to buy the shed.

Spot had eight puppies last night at about 3 in the morning. I didn't go near as she growled at me protectively, and in the night when her dim companion spaniel started to lick the puppies she tried to rip its throat out!
