the voice of doom …

If say this cloud doesn’t give any opportunity for normal air services to resume and then to top it all the second volcano blew, would the UK ever be able to become a self-sufficient island again or are we all too dependant on instant-this, instant-that, get everything society?

Is the prospect of empty supermarket shelves enough to send us all rushing to the garden centre to turn our lawns and flower beds into John and Barbara Good’s allotment or are we all just too darn “busy” (or do we mean lazy?) these days?

ok, how is he supposed to get home from Hong Kong????

Well I guess if you are in Europe, you just know you will have a mighty long terrestrial trek home in this current volcanic cloud situation but at least you will get home.  What about those who have a loved one stuck further afield with no prospect of getting home in the immediate future! 

We currently have a close relative trying to get home from a business trip in Hong Kong and he is in severe danger of missing his child’s first birthday!  Arrggghhhh … please dear volcano, please stop blowing your top so he can get home!

and so the beautiful CoCo leaves us ….

There’s serious sadness in our house this evening as the beautiful CoCo has breathed her last.  Our gorgeous hamster CoCo who has rather remarkably survived 3 years in our house finally gave up the ghost today and shuffled off her mortal hamster coil to the big hamster heaven that we all know is out there.  We will all miss her terribly and will be holding a small memorial service in our garden tomorrow morning.  As my daughters have just said we will remember her most for her beautiful colour, nibbling fingers and using her cage as a set of monkey bars in her endeavours to escape.  We loved you lots CoCo – Laurax

one embarrassed husband!

Oh yes … I am married to a man who is in charge of  Health & Safety on a multi-million pound  building site but who, in a moment of madness decided to try and pull out a branch that had got stuck in a wood-chipping machine.  Thankfully he turned it off before he inadvisedly put his arm inside but what he hadn’t realised was that the internal workings would think it necessary to tighten around his arm making an escape impossible!!!!!

After a moment of grim realisation, he began to shout!  Unfortunately the only person within earshot was one of the builders who are currently doing our extension thereby making it unlikely that the embarrassing disaster would remain “in the family”!  “How much will you pay me to not turn the machine on” was the initial response … which under different circumstances might have raised a smile!  This was swiftly followed by a lot of huffing and puffing as the builder tried to work out how to release him.  The reluctant conclusion was that it might have to be a fire brigade job … even more embarrassing!  Thankfully he eventually worked out how to bring the situation to an end … albeit millimetre by millimetre! 

One very relieved husband later confessed to the incident … thankfully still in one piece but more than ever so slightly mortified
