June 15th 2014
Friday 13th Up early again as today's a travel day. First we catch a direct bus to San Jose and it takes just over 3 hours. We pass beautiful countryside on the way. On arrival we get a taxi back to the airport and catch the Budget rental shuttle out to their depot to collect the hire car we've booked. Surprise surprise on picking it up to be told that the hire cost doesn't include any in ... read more

Car 54 where are you?
Was getting a bit concerned, no blog for 2 weeks, thought you'd been eaten or sold into slavery. Whilst you are out gadding about Mrs Smith has me knocking down walls and ripping out fireplaces. Managed to cut through the socket ring main yesterday like any good builder would. I was standing on a metal stool in my slippers when there was a bang and everything died except me. I have a nice hole in my saw as a commemorative piece. Naturally I blamed the electrician who originally wired the house running the cable on a diagonal instead of vertical or horizontal. Yesterday was the peak of excitement for my week watching some of my grandchildren under performing on sports day. They postponed it from last Friday because of the weather forecast and moved it to yesterday (Monday). Friday was a nice sunny day with a bit of cloud and breeze. Yesterday started the same, then it started raining, then I decide to go home, then it lashed down. More wall knocking down today, skip coming tomorrow. Being a happy soul like yourself I predicted England having 2 defeats and a draw, wish I'd put a bet on it now. We just never look like scoring. I'll keep looking out for you on Skype but the times you are blogging are not conducive to my sleep patterns.

Hi What are you doing knocking walls down at your age ? Has Mrs Smith upped your life insurance ! After all that work I suggest a holiday, take a year off and travel ! We are 7 hours behind you so Skyping is difficult. Best time is between 2 and 3pm your time, when I've just got up or 9 till 11pm before I have my dinner ! Finish the DIY as I'm not helping when I get back. Steve
