Please don't get over excited about our xmas lights. My tongue was firmly in my cheek when i wrote that last post. I will put up pics, but not tonight, cos my central heating has just been installed, and i'm enjoying being warm too much to go out again! I will do pics this week.

Thank you for your report Negg - I always enjoy reading them.

QuoteWe're having a super duper high retaining wall built to hold back a slightly dodgy grass bank and much work being done to our muddy 'ole drive.

Did you manage to pin down Spiros then?

Belated Anniversary Wishes, Jean & Senon if you are looking in - sounds like everyone had a great night.

Am I repeating myself? Must be the radishes. Sorry!

Eileen · December 10, 2009, 11:09:17 PM

A rash of radishes perhaps......

Would you like yet another red wine Eileen luvver???

rashes and radishes indeed. Clearly Arilliacs are suffering from withdrawal symptoms. Arillas Today is obviously short of us lot.

love

Hi Eggy

Brilliant report as usual. Hannah did text to let us know about Perris little ones christening and bless her I think we now know the name although it did take 3 texts. Problem now is how to pronounce it ha ha.

Just read your report Negg. Brilliant, just felt like being there. PEGG isn't pale blue and a J reg by any chance. Saw a lot of that car when we were in Arillas in September. Seems so long ago. Must get the piccies out tonight.

Eggy · December 11, 2009, 05:32:24 PM

Hi Rothers n Mick n Jill n All
Rothers - "J" Reg? - Not due for one of those for at least 5 years.
Pegg is a 10 year old white Fiat Punto, in need of a clean due to muddy roads n tracks.

Mick n Jill - Good to hear from you and hope all is well. I hope that Calum is still perfecting his skill. - Must send you a PM as can't find your e-mail.

Not much to report on Arillas but no news must be taken as good news. It's a great place to be around this time of year but there's something not quite right, without all the friends, we all make here, year after year.

We're still trusting that the weather will stay dry so we can get outside and get ready for planting. - As most Locals are. 11 deg here at 5:30. So far so good.

Cheers All
Negg
