Letter from Lewes

Hi folks, all's well at Lewes. Hilary has been in France over the weekend with our friend Valerie at her farmhouse and had lots of walks and talks. Busy at work with the wireless broadband project www.lwbnet.org.uk and our new project which we hope will be a go'er www.dits.org.uk

Rick will be interested to know that the office will be a little emptier at the end of the month as Frances has decided to move out. She's apologised to Craig and me as she went potty last week because we were talking.... then in the afternoon she had a four person meeting in the office without a thought to the noise they made when we were working. She also complained about Rick and Sophie talking as they worked on the web site. What a pain, will miss the rent but not the renter.

Anyway lots more to do this week, off to Isle of Wight next month and we are both looking forward to that, bye for now J&H

My Weekend

Had a quiet weekend with just the one function attended, The Commodore's commissioning chowder at the Manchester by the sea yacht club. The event was well attended but no went out sailing as it was too cold for these sea dogs. The weather was nice but the sea breeze did cut thru you spent the rest of sunday doing some gardening, Ellie is determined to turn me into a horticultalist. I'm getting to know the garden and realising that every plant has a history and a bright future ahead. It's sure is top of Ellie's priorities she spends a lot of time and money on it and the attention detail is something to behold. The beets have started to sprout in the vegetable garden but the carrot have yet to put in an appearence.

Crazy For You

So last night,after a glorious hot day, we went to the North Shore Music Theatre, to see their production of 'Crazy For You' billed as the new Greshwin Musical. it was great to see such a young cast preforming an old musical with such vigor and enthusiasm. Lots of tap dancing and the a happy ending.

We've seen lots of Musicals at this particular theatre and we consider ourselves very lucky to have it so close by.

Other Rustles that have made a noise

Having a laugh

enjoying yourself Regards to all M&D

Rick's Weekend

Hi there to you all,
I had an entertaining weekend, Friday night we went to the Rotary Club Laugh-in, and saw four comedians, Two ladies, one black one white, a chinesse imagrant, and a fisher man from Maine.
The lad from china was by far the funniest. We nearly got our pictures in the Salem News, as there was a reporter covering the event. We happended to be in the front row and in camera shot and he asked our names. Nothing appeared in the next days edition but I will keep an eye out this week.
Last night we went the see 'The marriage of Figaro' the one were Mozart plays it for laughs.
I really enjoyed it and I'm determined to find out more about this Opera milarky. It was performed at by the Boston Lyric Opera of which one of Ellie's aunts is the major sponsor. So we got to have dinner with the cast and watch all the presentations being awarded. The Cabots couldn't hear so they stopped the presentation and insisted that a microphone be found. As Linda Cabot Black said after storming the stage 'this was the most important part of the evening so everyone needs to hear' I'm getting used to this sort of thing. These Cabot ladies don't hung back when they see that something is wrong, more power to them I say.

Spring

Hi Rick and fellow bloggers. thought you might like to know the state of play at E.G.
Of course as it is the Spring Holiday and the day of the Lions Club fair it is raining.
Gill is manning a stall for the guides dressed in camping wet weather gear! The teenagers are out,and m&d don't know what to do. so it's status quo. Every where is a beautiful verdant green
thankfully the air isn't full of pollen now. hurrah the sun is out so there we go out to the fair.

Hi Rick

As you know I'm a fan of blogging, see www.lwbnet.org.uk and www.dits.org.uk , it's much faster and therefore easier to update than a conventional website reliant on ftp and dreamweaver etc. I've got dITs off the ground and have a new volunteer, Gary, who has MS, 45 and lives in Ringmer, scope for wifi there! He's done some City & Guilds training with network cabling etc but rather basic, just needs an opportunity to get some experience which hopefullly dITs will help with. More later, John
