Fathers Day....

Sent my father a card, felt guilty, was it enough.... why do we always asume that a card will do.... i didn't even phone my dad on fathers day.....why ?? because i was to consumed in my own little world... If you read this Dad...(Highly unlikely) but i am sorry, i should have rung even to say the same to you...HAPPY FATHERS DAY .....

Tina was kind enough to get me a card.... and a few pressies..... i know, she just wants me to be happy......

I didn't receive anything from my children on fathers day, i did however have a phone call from my son which was nice.... they did send cards, i had to pay £1.08 to collect them from the post office... Its the though that counts.... especially when you have to text dad to send you money because you spent upto your overdraft or you have a special weekend sorted out and need £100 for the clothes and hiking boots etc.....

I can say though that my children will never be roped in to the hype around these days, i.e. easter, fathers day, mothers day etc.... they have never got any money to buy anything ...

anyway off for now and back to reality of work..... still no one looking at the pruchase of the business yet but who knows i may win the lottery on Saturday.... here's wishing

And we have found Twitter

Been a long time since my last post. We have been busy....

All done in Malta, Apartment sorted and things are in place for the move to Malta.

Business has been up for Sale and had a few sniffs but nothing definite yet... The final peice of the jigsaw just doesn't seem to fit yet.

Tina has been busy with the house here and seems constantly to be working, while i am working here, then at home then teaching diving..... guess which i like best

Hopefully i will be able to update soon with news of the business selling... we will see

Later all

Nearly done...

Arrived in Malta yesterday at 4pm, Wind and clouds, but still very humid...

can't beleive that we have nearly finished with the sale of the old apartment and the purchase of the new one, seemed to go on forever...

Went to the Council to get a permit today for the Hi-up and then sat outside Lite-Bites for our morning Latte....IT RAINED HARD ....

Clouds have now gone and the sunshine is beating down..... very nice

Have an appointment at the Notaries this afternoon and then its pretty bay for something to eat and a nice Cisk or 2..

Had a little walk from the beach to our new apartment today just o see how far it was... less than 5 minutes... GREAT !!!! will be able to have a little drink and still walk home

I think thats it for know, left my camera at home this time but will bring it with me for the next flight....

Update tomorrow

Jules

Hiya again all....

This afternoon i am sitting at home on my lappy working because i forgot to get things done at the office and thought that i would update you all on whats been happening...

We have had a local builder in do some work in the Garden.... clearing out and putting a new base down for a new Shed... well Tina Calls it a Shed... i think its going to be the size of a small bungalow :)

On Sunday we fly to Malta to finally sign over our old apartment to the new owner and grab some rays..

I have been going to Birzebuggia in the south of Malta since 1978 (Yep 30 years) and LOVE IT... The People, the Country and the climate... everything you could ever want... I have met some Fantastic people and still remain freinds with them to this day and hopefully continue to remain freinds in the future.

We purchased our first property there 3 years ago and haven't looked back since.....

We also love travelling and have been to so many great countries since we married 12 years ago including Sri Lanka, Belgium, Portugal, USA, Maldives, Hong Kong, Singapore... the list goes on....

Why, some people have asked is your blog named "We are in paradise", the reason behind this is simple, in my life now i have everything i have ever wanted, i have a beautiful and wonderful wife, i have contentment in my life and how i live my life, i have 2 fantastic children whom i love very much and grandchildren who are absolute treasures.... but i have something missing.... I want to be somewhere else... this blog is started now because we are making plans to complete our life and the way we live our life.... I have for the Last 5 years trained in the Art of Scuba Diving and have gained the dizzy Heights of Master Scuba Diver Trainer (Instructor who can teach lots of things) this is going to be our new llife... we will be based in Malta and will travel to whereever the jobs take us, Already i have had offers of work from Bali and Maldives... so you see... My, or should i say our life is very nearly completion, we are getting to the top of the Mountain or to the light at the end of the tunnel....

We are in Paradise.... well nearly :) !!!!!!!

oh by the way some more of the Paradise Photo's ;)
