Morning Makeover

Have you seen '60 Minute Makeover' on glorious daytime TV? Whilst someone is out of their home a relative lets in a crew of carpenters, decorators etc and in 60 minutes the house is transformed. Today we had the 'morning makeover'. We have been house-sitting for Jane's parents who have just returned from their 8 week holiday in NZ, and we are leaving within 24 hours before they notice anything wrong!
Our blog may be a bit quiet for a couple of weeks whilst we visit J, but we will try and post some info and pics as we travel. P

Israqi

On a recent visit to the hairdressers the hairdresser was interested to hear that we had just returned from the Middle East.
The conversation continued, "Where were you living?"
I replied, "Beth..."
She said, "Beth...? I thought that was just at Christmas, is it a real place?"
I bit my tongue to prevent the giggles as the hairdresser continued the well-informed conversation with another question, "Is it safe there, are the Israqis still fighting?"
A quick change of the subject was required so I asked her, "Where are you going on your holidays this year?............"
