We were a bit slow of the ground this morning. Both Michael & Joanne stayed overnight after the concert but left mid morning to their respective homes.
Although we know there is a lot to do in the house, most of it can only be done once the famous building inspector has signed us off. Work will restart on the house in early August once we are back finally from France.
Over the past few years we have occasionally passed through Bagshot on the A30 and seen what is a a very active cafe and fish & chip shop, aptly called Jacks Famous Fish & Chips. So we decided to pay a visit to this eating establishment whilst en-route to Reading. Jennifer had the Haddock and Noel the Cod together with the chips and a cuppa. We both agreed that this was possibley the best fish and chips we have had for quite some time, not as good as the Akaroa New Zealand Fish & Chip shop mind you, but still very good indeed and we will return at a later date.
Our quick trip to Costco was to look at an under the counter wine refrigerator cabinet which we wish to purchase for our new family room and remove the small white freezer which stands out a bit like a sore thumb. Its a good unit and hold about 38 bottles and a good price.
Costco sell the Aftron range, never heard of it. We have as the AF at the beginning stand for Al Futtaim a huge company based in Dubai. Noel has done lots of business with them in the past when based in Hong Kong. Anyway Costco have this excellent unit which will purchase when we get back from France along with a few other things that are required to finish of the house and no doubt our bank account.
As we are planning to be in New Zealand at the end of this year for about four months and then possibly visit Florida and then caravaning in France and the rest of Europe next year we may consider renting the house out for one year and hence out need to fully equip it.
Anyway, nothing is fixed re renting but we will look at it again in August when we get back.
Michael was back at Brooklands again last night for the McFly and Sugababes concert where it was only about 50 per cent full compared to the Elton John two nights where they are completly sold out. Ahh the old ones are much better rockers.
