BIT MORE...

 TITIVATING.

Yep, today we shall be putting some finishing touches to the bathrooms.

Putting up towel rails, paper holders and so on.

Steve MIGHT come over and help Stew, but that will depend on how he's feeling.

I have not contacted them this morning because I know they like to sleep in on the weekends.  Don't wanna wake anyone up!

I hope Steve is feeling a bit better, he sure hasn't been too good the past few days.  He could hardly walk, and was in a lot of pain. 

ABOVE:  So yeah... sums up my mood today. 

ABOVE:  My mission today is to clean 6 windows on the East side of the house.  This one is in our ensuite, it's so filthy I almost cringe when I look at it!  Dust and dirt... disgusting.

ABOVE: how about something gorgeous?  Well ... I think our postcard sized garden is gorgeous.

So happy it's all blooming.  I missed seeing this last year, as I was in Australia.

Well... that's me for now, catch ya later.

11.25:  What a wonderful morning!

Steve and Bex arrived with brunch (McMuffins), and then...

ABOVE:  Steve is putting rails up, and the big mirror in the family bathroom.

ABOVE: And Bex decided to do my vacuuming!

ABOVE:  The little boys staying entertained.  Tablets and food.  Works every time.

AND finally for now, they arrived with an early birthday present for me.

I hinted that a few more hearts would be nice on my bedroom wall...

ABOVE:  WE just love it. Very unique.  Thanks Steve 'n' Bex.  Now... what do I get 'on the day'?  😊😋😂

ABOVE: And just like that, all the bits 'n' bobs are installed in the bathrooms.

I just LOVE the mirror in the family bathroom, almost MORE than the LED mirror in our ensuite!

ABOVE:  On the vanity in the family bathroom.  💙💚💜💖💛  Love it, had it for YEARS!

Poor Steve is still hobbling around, all his joints ache, but the burning sensation has gone.  Healthline staff said if he gets worse he needs to see his Doctor.   He reckons it's getting better, but looking at how he's moving?  I'm not so sure.

2.20 pm:  And it's back to just us.  Stew is enjoying rugby on the TV, and I'm contemplating my next project.

The bathrooms are now 90% finished.  We just need to put up the little tiles along the side and back of the vanities, and I won't be doing that until I can buy the tiles in person.

NO RUSH.

I think I'll have a quiet afternoon ... a nana nap might be involved.  And I think a silly bugger dinner is on the cards.

3.50 pm:  Well I canned the idea of the nap.

And made a banana cake with some old na'na's.

It smells divine!

And then I got a phone call from Animates.  Their groomer resigned, and all the dog groom appointments had to be cancelled!

I'm like DAMN!

Both girls are desperate for a groom.

So I got on the phone and rang around about 8 groomers.  Most were fully booked, or did not answer their phones or texts.

Then finally, I got a call back from a groomer not far from our home.

They get groomed TOMORROW!

Fingers crossed it's a good groom.  If not, well lesson learnt.  And I've already booked their next groom (in January) with Pet Essentials in Rototuna.

Talking of the dogs, they had an afternoon playdate with the boys.  They are now home, happy as larry.  They just love going there.

Stew decided we are having Honey King Prawns for dinner, from Noodle Club.  I'm already drooling.

ABOVE:  I don't 'bake' very often.  Happy to say this Banana Cake turned out well, Stew was very appreciative. 

9.14 pm:  Our dinner was fantastic!  And now?  I'm going to have an early night.  

Catch ya tomorrow.
