Another glorious, sunny, morning here in Ulverston! And there is more to come!
I had an excellent day yesterday putting on a p; property known as Micklewell Cottage, Gleaston. It is a great opportunity for someone who has the right skills and a few pounds, to create a lovely home.
I think that things are improving in the house sales department as I received further instructions to market more properties shortly.
Thursday will shortly be here, adn that is when I get my right eye lasered at Spa Medica in Kendal, so I am very excited about it all. Helen is friving me through. Later , n the evening it i the Heart of Ulverston Awards evening at the Coronation Hal, l to which I have been invited as a guest. It will be lovely, I am sure.
Stay Sage! Stay Alert! Stay Calm! BE BICE TO ONE ANOTHER AND SHOW COMPASSION!

It was
Victory in Europe Day yesterday. 80 years since the suspension of hostilities. There was a small ceremony in Ulverston at the Market Cross, organised by the Royal British Legion, which was well attended.
I had a good day at work and had a Bowld Match against West Shore. I did well, but not well enough. I lost 21-19 against a very skilled and experienced player. The team lost 8-1, so not a good result. I was on first as I had another appointment at 7 pm with the Royal Society of St George. I got there 10 minutes late!. The meeting was good and successful.
Some good news yesterday came with the announcement that the Bank Rate had been reduced by a quarter of a percent. Good for my business, as mortgages should follow suit. shortly. Insight suggests that there will be further reductions in teh next few months. My fngers are crolssed!
Stay Safe! Stay Alert! Stay Calm! BE NICE TO ONE ANOTHER! Show compassion!
