With the wettest summer on record we booked or holiday in June for the 2nd week in September 2009 and we had the best weather this year Yippeeeeeeeeeee.
The sound track is not really appropriate as we have been happily married for 39 years

My favorite version of the Bricklayer's song.
Here are the lyrics:
Dear Boss I write this note to you to tell you of my plight
And at the time of writing I am not a pretty sight
Me body is all black and blue and me face a deadly gray
And I hope you'll understand why Paddy's not at work today
I was workin' on the 14th floor; some bricks I had to clear
And throwin' 'em down from such a height was not a good idea
The foreman wasn't very pleased, he bein' an awful sod
And he said I'd have to take them down the ladder in me hod
Now shiftin' all those bricks by hand it seemed so awful slow
So I hoisted up a barrel and secured a rope below
But in my haste to do the job I was too blind to see
That a barrel full of buildin' bricks was heaveier than me
Now when I came down I cut the rope and the barrel fell like lead
And clinging tightly to the rope I started up instead
I shot up like a rocket and to my dismay I found
That halfways up I met the bloody barrel comin' down
Now the barrel broke me shoulder as to the ground it sped
And when I reached the top I struck the pulley with me head
I still clung on though numbed and shocked from this almighty blow
And the barrel spilled out half the bricks 14 floors below
Now when the bricks had fallen from the barrel to the floor
I then outweighed the barrel and I started down once more
Still clinging tightly to the rope I headed for the ground
And I fell among the broken bricks that were all scatter'd 'round
As I lay there moaning on the floor sure I thought I'd passed the worst
Then the barrel struck the pulley wheel and didn't the bottom burst
A shower of bricks came down on me sure I haven't got a hope
And as I was losing consciousness... I let go the bloody rope
Now the barrel it being heavier it started down once more
And it landed right across me as I lay there on the floor
I broke three ribs and my left arm and I can only say
That I hope you'll understand why Paddy's not at work today

This is Noel Murphys version of a very funny song written by Pat Cooksey and first sung in the Dyer's Arms, in Coventry England. It's real name is 'The Sick Note', and came from an original joke from Gerard Hoffnung back in the 1950s. I has been released by many artists and under many titles including: WHY PADDY'S NOT AT WORK TODAY
THE BRICKLAYERS SONG
DEAR BOSS
PADDY AND THE BARRELL
MURPHY AND THE BRICKS
The above song under all alternative titles has always been and remains the sole copyright of the original writer, PAT COOKSEY.

Lyrics
One hour and I'll be leaving you, I know you're gonna make me blue
My heart is trembling though and through
'Cause I know very well I can tell I can tell
this will be my last date with you
Just can't believe that this could end, I know I'll never love again
You'll ask me to be just a friend
It's as plain as can be
I can see I can see this will be, my last date with you
And when you say goodbye I know I will cry
'cause I'll know it's my last date with you
I know you met somebody new, you tell me you and I are through
My plans and dreams cannot come true
And when you say goodbye I know I will cry
'Cause I'll know it's my last date with you
