Thanks for enduring. To recap. Life with a permanent live-in carer can be difficult. Life for a live-in carer can be extremely difficult especially if the cared for are a couple of crochety old octogenarians.
No news from Brighton but no news is good news?
Big Titty arrives next week.
More importantly a chaffinch visited the bird feeder today, first for years.

The bizarre creations of AI defy all understanding don't you think G? I might employ it to develop my 'game changing' idea if my Ancient Intelligence becomes inactive. If!

No Artificial Intelligence here. Just a ray of sunshine.

Regular readers of this riveting blog will know that the above ray of sunshine is our Great Granddaughter Rosa. What can you say?
She must have heard that Great Grandfather has sold Little Titty and is awaiting delivery of Big Titty. Regular readers will know what G G Father means.

Of course, when Big Titty arrives I might change the name to Reginald. I might put it to a vote.
Meanwhile, our new live in carer is Tina (carers are swopped regularly) Tina is Sandra's mother so there you go.

I expect you watched the opening race in this year's F1 season in Melbourne. I tried to stay awake! Anyway, the new rules allow a lot more battery power extracted from the KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System). Nobody knows it yet but it will be used to boil your kettle. Watch this space.
Writing a great story for FEDORA Magazine (Federation of Oxshott Residents Association) but they don't know it yet. Watch this space.
Time for a snooze.

Getting used to a live in carer is a bit of a nightmare for all involved, but if you change them regularly you might find the right one. Any applicants? Job includes money for food, money for travel, free electricity, free central heating, use of fridge, use of freezer ,use of washing machine (no dishwasher), use of cooker, use of microwave, plenty of time off to explore local amenities, but beware creaky floorboards or you will be history.

Dear Regular Reader No. 158,
Nice to see you back. I expect you could do with a live in carer but beware live in carers, unless it's me!
Despite my advanced age today I got the breakfast, cleaned out the cupboards full of out of date biscuits, did the washing up, entertained guests, got the lunch, paid the window cleaner and put the bins out. Do I get the job?
There were a few other things but short term memory failing fast, long term memory crystal clear.
Happy birthday Rebecca, Maddie and Phoebe, hope you like your cards.
Loadsa love,
G G Bob.
