Hot tub delivered? Yup
Huge gazebo setup? Yup
All ready and set for party? Yup
Cue torrential rain, lightening and drowned gazebo. Oh boy.
Will it still be standing by the morning? of course, it’s built by the Foggies!!
Counting down to Jubbly day…

After all why have a party and not make your guest work for it. If you start on Friday night it should be full by Saturday afternoon.
Now all we got to do is collapse it all and then rebuild again next Friday.
Menu, check, party games, check (quoits, spanner tennis, Bartenga, skittles and boules), sun, on order
BBQ all cleaned and ready (no dead spiders this time Mrs Fogg). Hot Tub arrives in T Minus 3 days and will be sizzling at 39 degrees for the party.
Obviously we are trying the BBQ for you, just to check its all ok, oh and yes we will test drive the Hot Tub as well.
Get yer party frocks ready.
The hotel has been quite nice with good service and this is the first (and last time) I will see it in the sunshine.
Oh well, BBQ on the horizon next.
We downloaded Sherlock Holmes 2 and boy what a waste of £3.49. The first movie was innovative, intelligent and interesting, this however is slow, dull an boring.
I want my money back.
No alcoholic beverages or food will be allowed near the pool and a breath test will be required before you can enter the pool. Also no-one will be allowed to wear flippers or full scuba gear (Mr CaddyFrog take note).
I can see the smiles dripping off your faces already, Enjoy!
A nice leisurely rise this am, where shall we grab a bite to eat says I, let’s try Burnby Hall Gardens offers Mrs Fogg. Now let me check, does it have food, yes, do you have to pay to get in and buy some food, well this is England isn’t it!
I find it rather annoying that you have to pay £5 each for the right to buy a coffee, but consider you can look at all the wonderful flowers, but I don’t want to look at flowers, all I wanted was a coffee, which all told comes to £6.50 with entrance fee.
Welcome to rip off Britain. Next time I choose.
The new class is a bit more sedate than what I was used to previously but it’s great. A wonderful way to relax, stretch and unwind. Last night the lady who takes the class was speaking about the concept of Yoga. It is very much a way of meditating, using the breath to concentrate and forget for a time the distractions of life.
She made an interesting observation. In our busy lives, not everyone can take a class for an hour or two, and few of us take time for ourselves but we can all achieve some space. A simple five minutes to sip and enjoy a cup of tea, a few minutes in bed stretching gently and just focusing on breathing before the day routine starts. These are ways to take time to be mindful of our own bodies, our breath, our lives.
As much as I rush around working and never seem to stop, and as poor as I am at actually taking time at home to do some Yoga, she reminded me last night that is is vital to at least take that five minutes to appreciate my body, my mind and life. After all, just being able to do something as simple as stretch our arms out horizontally today may not be such an easy task at 90, the body is pretty amazing really.
Ok chanty hippy stuff over. Now, about that cup of tea

We also have an abundant squirrel population. It’s a good job we have the squirrel dome up though. When we first arrived I placed a coconut feeder in the tree for the birds. Within a day the squirrels had stolen it and Mr Fogg came back from work to see a squirrel trying to drag said coconut across the garden.
So far we have thick squirrels. One has just spent ten minutes running up and down the bird feeder and bashing its head each time on the dome. Now he’s opted to hijack the birds, just clobbered one on the head to pinch the seeds….I’ll make a drink and watch the show me thinks.
