Bit cloudy today but managed to do a few jobs.
The fun has gone out of business rates now that the Valuation Office have moved the goal posts.
They don't let you have their rental evidence and as there was practically none about at 01.04.08 where do they get their figures from?

Baking wholemeal bread

and made peanut cookies... calorific!

Working in Fuerteventura

Arrived 'Costa Lotta' Saturday late with David - not too dusty inside!
Smoke alarm beeping. Can't find a battery seems hard wired.
Slept with ear-plugs!
Sunday - Stocked up with food - some Blanc de Blancs seco from Catalunya 2 euros and a big yellow chicken chopped into ocho pieces including a long neck!
David cleaned the fountain and then heavens opened - mopping and sweeping water out the kitchen door. (cut my finger and blood dripping) as I paddled out to the yard and unblocked the drain with a chop stick!
Beep! beep!
Later drank white wine watching the sun drying the steaming garden....
Sneezing have a cold! Beep! beep!
Cooked lovely pot of chicken, rice, pots, veg in white wine sauce..
Monday - streaming cold, legs like lead. Beep! beep!
checked with Developers about smoke alarm - they did not install it so may be its not hard wired!
Sent David up the ladder to use brute strength and " rip it off the ceiling, lad" and joy he did - beeping battery nestling underneath - soon killed ..ahhh!!

Who is the real God?

Had supper at my daughter's on Sunday.

I took the the chocolate and almond cake
made from "How to Master the Art..." Julia Child. Iced with choc/butter and topped with blanched halved almonds

There was a 'belief' discussion got me thinking.

Next day Simon Sebag Montefiore's book Jerusalem was discussed "..the universal city, the capital of two peoples, the shrine of three faiths, the site of Judgement Day and the battlefield of today’s clash of civilizations. From King David to Barack Obama, from the birth of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to the Israel–Palestine conflict..."

then I found a web site "Why Jews don't believe in Jesus"
Is there a God, is there only one with different names?

I'd better get started and Blog!

Sneezed! It's cold so off to get cashmere and make some miso soup.  I make a good miso in a mug for quick pick me up; add a little bonito powder - yum!
Later warmer!  It's been a good week.
Watched The Black Swan with S & P. Great movie. Those poor toes!
Measured a shop in Queensferry for work and drove along the Welsh coast. Discovered The Duke of Lancaster, a rusting hulk on the edge of the beach near Fflint. (Interesting web site)
Lots of caravan parks and big deserted beaches behind sand dunes.

Collected forty  rating jobs to settle before end of March - so busy again!
