I have moved back home to my roots..In Portsmouth..where I belong.

One week and one day..and 40 of the 69 boxes have been unpacked.

Met the new neighbours one side today..Mark and Paul.Hunky hunks they are..2 brothers who work and commute to Winchester each day.They have a much bigger garden than me because they are semidetached and have a drive at side of their house.Timmy my cat has already seeked out their huge garden which is full of bushes shrubs and he ventures over the fence to their little jungle!

My garden is full of pretty trees and shrubs and grass.

I have a fish pond but much to Timmy,s dosappointment he cant get to the fish because there is a special grid over the top.

There is an alleyway bottom of garden which is a short cut to the next road where Church is and a little bus runs to and fro the High Street shops.

I applied for a few jobs today,but I am not able to really start work for a few weeks at least ..I do not want to start work and then take time off for the room meet in York nor go out to work and leave Timmy cat until he is really settled.Timmy seems to like the new place but is pining for his cat friends back in Cotswolds.Every day Hissyfit cat used to come play and carrot the ginger cat used to come indoors with Timmycat.

Soon..in June time Timmy will have a new friend because daughter BB is coming to live with me and bringing her cat Peppa a female all black cat.I just hope Timmy will accept her because Timmy is used to owning the household..but Peppa should enjoy it here because she has always been ket indoors,which is not ideal for cats in my opinion.They need fresh air and excercise and freedom.

Parker moved us in the big removal lorry last friday and started work Monday back at his old job,(but back to the basic start......on the road commercial and domestic gas/electric meter reading ..which then takes him on to installing the meters and then on to debt collecting readings (bailliff access and fraudulent use of gas/electric reporting) and then finally on to adding commercial electric cables into excess meters.

One step at a time for parker.This time he has to use my car for a few months until he is past his 13 week probationary period..but his old boss is actually saying Parker will have car a lot sooner..as he is "old rope"!!!

It is nice to have Parker out in the daytime..so I can crack on emptying more boxes and washing/ironing/cleaning /changing adresses/etc etc and then have the evenings together again.

Parker worked till 10pm when he was in Cotswolds ,and we were never able to go out,so slowly when money starts to come in,we can go off out to the beach or top of the hill for some walks and a drink in da pub.

Parker is outside in the garden chopping down the big hedge trees that the surveyor picked up on his report..saying the roots could groww under the house and cause big movement problems..but also the hedge/tree is 3 foot wide ..so imagine how much garden we will gain.The area he has to clear is about 9 foot long and 9 foot high.

Woohoo we will have more daylight.Of course we can now see over next door..but we will put a fence up to give us all privacy.
