We're back

We are back from the UK, and I've even had half a week at work. The weather is a lot cooler and even a little rain - which is all quite pleasant after the UK's hottest July on records (along with the hottest day on record).

The flight was a nightmare - simply as always due to duration. We again too the few hours in Singapore to have a bit of a kip and a shower, however next time we go (currently planned for 2009) we'll definately be going business class, it will really be worth it.

We ended up having to buy some new luggage, as we went out with 30kg and came back with 60kg - we bought a load of stuff, despite the incredibly high prices of everything back in the UK.

Bad news on our return is that our older cat Harley has kidney failure and it's not really curable. She's on a special diet (which she appears to like) and may be able to go on some medication later which will slow the progress, but overall it doesn't look good for her.

We been to order a mirror wardrobe for the new bedroom upstairs, and have just started looking for a new car for W (this may take some time). Our 1st weekend back had been spent doing some major pruning in the garden, taking most of today (Saturday) - tommorow we visit the tip to get rid of all the cuttings. - Oh and then of course I work Sunday afternoon...
