LOTS OF LITTLE THINGS

 Stew is home today.  Taking a 'rest day' from work.

Rest from work... but not from jobs here.

We are doing a small grocery grab this morning, then I have a list of smallish jobs for Stew to help me with.

It will be nice to have a hand getting those jobs done.

There's a few more things to hang on the walls, but not too many left.

Bearing in mind I'm not putting everything back right now, it probably won't take much time.

Getting curtain rods and curtains back up might take a little while.  

As it's Brylee's birthday tomorrow (21 !), we will probably pop out and find something lovely for her present.  And food for her birthday lunch.

We will be having a lunch here over a dinner, cos I'm just too tired!  A couple of nice platters is what I have in mind.

And of course a cake.  

So, there's plenty on the agenda today.


12.10 pm. And... Stew and I have been shopping all morning ! We got some plants and Christmas presents. Also something for Brylee's birthday. 
And this:

ABOVE: OK... he needs a name.
Ideas???

ok... it's now 3.40 pm and we have just got home from being out and about ALL DAY!

Shopping.  Shopping.  Groceries, and so on.

I don't know if I have the energy for doing much else today, but we will see.

ABOVE:  Stew was some adorable shell cushions at Freedom Furniture.  We got the salmon one.  Of course.


ABOVE:  We now have houseplants!  There's three more in other parts of the house.
We love them.


And we are back to it... busy busy busy... hanging curtains and paintings.  
Slowly getting some semblance of normal back in the house.

10.50 pm: We got more curtains hung this evening.  Just got the lounge ones to do tomorrow sometime.

Dang, more computer issues tonight ... but finally got it working again.
Dinner tonight was baked potatoes, super yum.
So, so tired... off to bed in a minute.

    1. How did your comment get in between my comments which were about 30 seconds apart? Haha.
      The No No No was directed at my previous Dumbo suggestion and not Alfie! Alfie is a cute name, I would never dismiss someone else's suggestion as it looks like I did in the comment stream.

    2. Sorry Dogstars... I have a comment 'editor', so when comments get published and in what order is up to her, not me. Sometimes she misses a few and finds them later! lol
