I had a stand off with an Iguana the other day. No no… this isn’t the start of a joke (why did the Iguana cross the road .. etc etc)… Julian and I went to the Stratford Butterfly Farm as part of my birthday celebrations and mini-break. The thing was, this Iguana wouldn’t move away from the exit as we were trying to leave, Julian was trying to entice it away… funniest thing I have seen in a while and I wish I had taken a picture. All in all though the place was great and I had a great weekend with Julian and a wonderful birthday. It’s a great week to go to Stratford as it was Shakespeare’s birthday. I can highly recommend it.

Now the celebrations have passed for another year, which has flown by here are Fortunatus, we have big things happening here this week so all my efforts are going to be concentrating on the launch of the App ‘Engage’ and our Unity Lottery. Engage is exciting and we know this will work really well for some of our tenants who might not want to talk to someone but would rather use the app to report a problem they might be having. You can also use the app to look for cinema listing, local events … I’m really proud. Take a look, download it from the App store or Google Play.

I’m pleased to announce we also have two lottery winners here at Fortunatus this week thanks to the Unity Lottery (they said it won’t change them!). They only signed up a few weeks before so get signed up! £25,000 a week for 6 numbers and a nice cool £1000 for 5 numbers and so on! For every £1 you play, 50p comes to us. This money really helps our tenants. Take a look at the prize breakdown.   http://www.unitylottery.co.uk/how-does-it-work/

So, I’m off. Lots to do this week and not enough time. Still up to my eyes in crochet ducklings.

Catch you soon and I’ll let you know how the launch goes, and the ducklings!
