Today’s the day when we officially become proud owners of our new home.
Of course the place is to put it mildly “is in need of work”.
I don’t anticipate romping around the yard any time too soon but you know Ma she’s like a dog with a bone.

She has the painter all sorted and on Thursday has taken a day off at the tearoom to meet every other tradesman under the sun.
I know that eventually it will all be worth it but Ma is like a wound up spring. I’m just concerned she’ll snap like that fence at the ranch that is number one in the list of must do’s.
