THE NEW BED

ABOVE:  Well... there it is.  Gorgeous.

I love how it looks with the headboard raised up so the shelves show above the pillows.

Stew had to put blocks of wood under it to raise it, he did a good job.

How did we sleep?

Well....  I slept really well.  I'm a bit achy, which is to be expected with getting used to a new bed.  It's really FIRM!  I love it.  Stew?  Still asleep, so can't ask him.

Early days... let's see how I feel in a week.

Today we are going out.  I am not sure WHERE yet, but we are getting out of the house.

Lacy is going to pop in at some point to pick up our old bed, so we can actually MOVE in the garage again.  With a lot of Steve and Bex's stuff already in there, it's actually FULL!

I accepted a quote for a new sectional garage door yesterday, I forgot to mention it!

So that will be happening towards the end of July.  The garage door company are fully booked for a month, hence the delay.  But that's actually good, cos it gives us more time to save up the money.  They are not exactly cheap.

But it will be so worth it.  No more freaking out when I go to open the door, then have to race outside to make sure no one's car is too close to it.

THAT is a pain in the bum for sure.

I have to laugh at myself.

Now that Stew and I are 'being good' again with our diet... I am spending an extra ordinary amount of time on Facebook, looking at people cooking FOOD.  Mostly shit we can't have.

Why am I torturing myself?  My mouth is constantly watering.  I dream about cakes and ice cream and sausage rolls... 😭😪😫.

I've had NO SUGAR for 5 days!  And already I've noticed that my need to go piddle has halved at least!  As the Dr said, my body was trying to rid itself of all the sugar I was consuming... hence so many piddles.

I am ENJOYING not having to rush to the bloody loo every hour or so!

But, it is hard to self deny all the time.  My motivation is not as high as it was two years ago.  It is going to be a long, hard slog to get those Hba1c levels down I think.

Right, I'm off.

Catch ya later.

ONWARD...

Brylee's Covid-19 test came back... NEGATIVE.  As we knew it would be.  She's already recovered from her cold and is back at work.

Stew just attached my large, white roller blind to the ceiling in the sunroom, so now I have a good backdrop for hanging and taking photos of my things.

OMG it's like one step forward, then two steps back.  We can't pin my runners to the blind cos it just makes holes.  So now we have to try and work out how to hang the runners IN FRONT of the blind to take photos.  I'm so crabby right now.  I have no idea what to do to make this work easily, and not spend a fortune working it out either.

11.55 am:  We MIGHT have found a solution.  Working on it...

SORTED.  Will show you tomorrow.

Well ... after resolving that issue, we went to Chartwell Square for a very late lunch. Now home again and just gunna chill out for a while.

ABOVE:   This is the latest Wonky House Runner finished. 

 

For the next few days (when I can), I will be working on taking photos and making an Inventory of most of the things in my Studio that are for sale.

Then I'm going to list them on Facebook and see how that goes.

9.10 pm:  about once a month Stew meets up with an old mate at the local pub for a few drinks after work.  Tonight I joined them at 7 pm, as his mate's wife was there too.

And we had a really lovely evening having a few drinks and laughs.

It's been many years since I hung out in a pub!

I loathe the noise, and see no point going if I can't even hear what people are saying.  But this little pub does not have any loud music blaring, so it was neat!

We had a nice time, and I do believe it will happen on a regular basis.

As Steve and Bex will be living literally 3 minutes from this particular pub, I suspect we will see them there too, provided Brylee can babysit sometimes.  😊

So, a lovely end to the day.  Might get us something to eat soon... soak up the 2-3 glasses of wine I've had!
