Paint

 Paint...more paint...please rinse the brushes and repeat...however look at what we've achieved so far...


 
Getting there in the bedroom with green...hubby is making built in wardrobes where the fawn is...


 
Here is a little of the bathroom. A black dado rail will separate the colours...


 
Some sunny yellow in the kitchen...a little more yellow than I was expecting actually...

So this week our kitchen was due to be delivered...well that didn't happen, however this gives us a little more time to finish the painting. It should be here next week.
The downstairs windows returned...even the bowed, glass scratched one. Couldn't make it up really. The top part will be replaced.
It is all coming together...with lots of hard work still to do.

Autumn Storms

I'd like write that Autumn storms have been battering us for days...however on climbing into bed beside hubby last night with a hot water bottle, we both came to the conclusion that it could easily have been a December evening. It has been dark for much of the last few days and showers seemingly having no ending. Today we were promised something a bit better, however earlier we had more of the same wet weather, though the wind appears to have calmed down considerably.

We have two builders on the job today, the same as yesterday. They have been plastering our new kitchen. Hopefully the kitchen is arriving to us next week. A sense of urgency has descended upon our household. 

I have been suffering with a cold for the last few weeks...I'm sure so much mask wearing is recycling the germs back to me...anyway on Friday I had a low body temperature and felt all achey. The doctor doing our Covid booster jabs said as long as I didn't have a temperature it would be OK to proceed. Well over the weekend I did develop a high temperature, and continued to ache. Still today I have dosed myself with Ibuprofen. This thing just keeps giving. Yes I did a PCR on Friday which came back negative on Saturday.

Our new bedroom is now fully ready to paint. However hubby would like to get the end walls of the cottages painted as a priority as soon as it becomes dry. I'm thinking the dark green paint I have chosen for our room is going to come a a surprise to him!

Well the days once more vanished in a haze of dust. It is now Friday. I am still holding onto my germs. Kitty is as usual on my lap. Wilbur likes to lie on the back of the sofa and reach out a paw to touch my shoulder.

Youngest is coming to help paint the ceilings later. Such a good daughter! Even though young Henry has been asking for a cousin.!! Hopefully soon I shall be able to share some photos. Don't feel that inspired to post pictures of dust everywhere!
