Chicken and Egg

I see we've done a deal with China re. Poultry exports. This is eggsellent news (too easy) - means when we take delivery of our new hens at the end of this week, we are free to export their best efforts. Love a bit of special fly, me.

Which reminds me, my sister and family have just returned from the land of the long thin noodle. Bro in law got a transfer to Hong Kong for two / three years, so they upped sticks and headed off. Think it's all good and they're having a great time. Great experience. They're back in Cobham for a few weeks before heading down here for the summer break. All our kids are of similar ages, so they have a ball. Looking forward to a catch up before they head back in August. Then we're all meeting up again in Lanzarote for Christmas.

The weather alert has risen to a level 2! Risk of heat stroke, sun burn etc. Where's that then? Not here that's for sure. Yesterday, yes. However, the only risk at Polzeath today is of nasty case of the sniffles. sniff, sniff.

Jane Norman have gone into administration - noticed they were all shut up on the weekend. Not that I buy my clothes from there. A middle aged lady on the escalator was making noises and pointing at the 'closed' sign. Teachers on strike - okay, we'll cut them some slack as the ones we know are really good. Public sector pensions completely out of step with private sector though. By the time most of them actually retire, they'll have to be a new scheme in place as there's just not going to be enough money in the pot. And that's not rocket science. One more thing - global interest rates have to rise, says latest report from boffins. Oh, don't like the sound of that. Here ends my economy report.

The 'Booking Pattern' remains intact. A hot sunny Sunday, will be quiet in the office. But come Monday, it's summer booking mayhem. Hence the reason I'm still here!! Oh and that I forgot to write down a booking for 37 peeps this afternoon. I'm on the naughty step. Code Swan everybody, Code Swan!
