ALAN in "the Beach Hut"

ALAN in "the Beach Hut" is a running gag by Modern Toss -- the first frame is of  interest.....

new paint, new web-site (soon)

lovely day for a paint job -- Brewers showed me the Albany range of colours as specified in the Official Door Colours: neither Brighton Blue (BS480014 C35 a.k.a. Jade) or Cream (BS10 C31 a.k.a. Tusk) seems to taste right, so I got Seafront Blue, as previously used -- the municipal  trade mark for the railings for Brighton.
Now scrape, rub and frotter is the order of the day..........unless, the mackerel calls........
=========================
new web-site coming using Word Press......more to follow
================================
in the meantime, see an Argus blog http://www.theargus.co.uk/blogs/blogs/8230657.Midsummer_Madness_/

time for paint

recent news --

letter dated 1st June from Seafront Surveyor: time for re-paint with the mild threat "I will be visiting your chalet in a month's time to examine it again."
No date or time specified, ergo no invite to inspect together.....
==================

rumors of a proposal to change the lease (eg long-term tenants (i.e. 10 yrs +) to be evicted with 2 yrs notice== reason: let others enjoy) have yet to be substantiated.....
i have asked for this to be scotched, but no reply yet either by e-mail or phone 290568.............
