PUZZLED
Yesterday I was sorting through the three big boxes of plastics, and not often used kitchen gadgets. And I was like, where the hell are all our plastic boxes?
ABOVE: I found masses of LIDS... with no corresponding bottoms? I'm at a loss to know where they might be.
I'm hoping they didn't get put up in the attic by mistake... cos that would mean 'someone' getting up there to check. Grrrrr.
I have a fairly impressive list of things to get done this weekend. The biggest one is getting the two extra Keter sheds assembled, and all the stuff that's to go in them, IN THEM, and out of the garage.
-There's also raising the headboard.
-Putting the Hold Backs on the walls, to hold back the curtains.
-And maybe we will get our weather vane up as well?
Some of that is going to be 'weather dependant', cos obviously ya don't want to be out in the rain.
*sigh*...
ABOVE: Meanwhile, back at home... his nibs is very reluctantly putting the two new Keter sheds together.
ABOVE: When we left the mall it was fair PISSING DOWN. Torrential in fact. So making up the third shed is on hold for now...

LET IT RAIN
The day I've been waiting for ... my bathroom gets some colour. Did I tell you what colour I chose?
MIGHT BE PALE BLUE. Like seriously, is anyone even surprised? 😂😄😉
ABOVE: I'm sure you are all sick to death of seeing my freakin 'almost' bathroom! But tough titties... I like documenting the progress.
That's how it looked when the painter left yesterday. Give it a few hours and we might have another photo... with COLOUR!
That dark thing on the wall is a set-in-the-wall cupboard, and it has two mirrored doors that go on the front. Very old fashioned, but we love it. They are so handy above the vanity.
So what am I doing today, besides watching the painter do his thing?
Five eighths of F all really. I can hardly move in the house right now, which is really frustrating. I need to get sewing asap, I have Scrappy Doll orders for the next Tamahere Market. Luckily, it's still two weeks away, so I should be able to get some made in another week or so.... ONCE the sheds are assembled, and all that shed shit is out of my sewing space. Here's hoping Stew can get them made Saturday or Sunday.
At the pub last night, I commented on a friend's GORGEOUS LONG FINGERNAILS. She told me she takes Centrum Women 50+, and Berrocca every day, and she attributes that to having strong nails and hair that grows fast.
Well my hair grows fast, but me nails are hopeless. Soft and crack at the slightest knock. So I'm gunna go and get me some Centrum and Berrocca.
And that is my grand plan for ... a couple of hours at least.
Catch ya later.

HEADBOARD
THIS MORNING OUR NEW HEADBOARD IS ARRIVING. And I still have not painted behind our bed. I had hoped to have it done before the headboard arrived. But oh well, it's not a big problem in the grand scheme of things.
The Gib Stop man is coming back after lunch to do a second coat of plaster. Then I presume tomorrow he will come and sand it all. After that, I can paint the room.
So, it looks like we won't have a functioning bathroom until next week at the earliest. It isn't too bad not having a bathroom, but only due to being able to use the community centre here for our showers.
This morning I am going to put poly filla in the holes in our bedroom wall, and the lounge. First step in re-painting the interior of the house.
ABOVE: The village maintenance men wasted no time in starting to take the shed apart!
They got the roof off late yesterday, and are coming back today to take the rest apart. They are going to use it in their 'workshop' area, and are very happy to have it.
I'm just relieved the damn shed saga is over, and we can move on from it.
Right, I'm getting up and heading out to the mall. I need to pick up me prescription and a few bits 'n' bobs.
ABOVE: I got the last 4 sets at Spotlight. I would have liked 4 black sets, but oh well. I will get Stew to instal them on the weekend.
