Anne's Alliteration Altercation

Disaster! Colin Jones, my brilliant Project Manager at Cefnmeurig is relocating to Monmouth. He'll still be carrying on with the project management, of course, but his move to Monmouth means I've lost my super S- alliteration.

I've been calling him the Singing Surveyor of St Clears because he Sings, Surveys and lives in St Clears. (To be perfectly honest he's not a singer but a songwriter and musician but the Song-writing Surveyor of St Clears did not have the same ring to it.)

I've threatened him with the Morose Musician from Monmouth and flattered him with the Sexy Surveyor from St Clears (the last one seemed to frighten rather than encourage) but he is still moving.

Good luck Colin.

Desperate for a Date

The ivy has been removed from the gable end at Cefnmeurig but there is no sign a date stone. Disappointing. See "I had a dream"

Derek Brockway ate my lunch

I had my 5 minutes of fame again on the Jamie Owen Show on Radio Wales today.

The chef from Morgans Hotel, Swansea, Chris Keenan was cooking lunch on the programme. After the show, I was given a plate full of delicious salad but then Derek Brockway, the BBC Wales weatherman came into the studio and pinched most of it.

I shouldn't complain, as he sent my Mum a signed photo for her birthday after the last show (she is a BIG fan). Derek was telling me that having hundreds, if not thousands, of adoring fans in the eighty plus bracket has its drawbacks.

He said that sometimes he yearns to be an anonymous person again ... just like me. Thanks Derek.

Cooker falls off the back of lorry and onto Track

Following on from the "It's all right said Fred" post the Tenby cooker has found a new home with the charity Track 2000 in Cardiff. They take unwanted household items, recondition them and pass them on to those in need.

John the plumber brought it back from Tenby in his lorry. He's been doing so much shifting and carrying over the last few weeks his knees and fingers are in need of some reconditioning.
