Yesterday afternoon the Interiors Barn man dropped our shelving unit off.
And Stew had the pleasure of putting it together.
ABOVE: I think Stew was very pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to put together.
ABOVE: He was onto the very last shelf, and he pulled out the last piece of wood.And bugger! It was the nicest piece of the lot, and I didn't want it on the very bottom. So my poor man had to pull half the shelf apart again, so the 'nice' shelf could go in the middle.
ABOVE: See? Just gorgeous.
ABOVE: Pulling it apart and inserting the nice one in the middle.
ABOVE: And there ya go... it's done.
ABOVE: View from the front door... it looks awesome there!
ABOVE: The other tubular metal shelf we got from The Interiors Barn a couple of years ago, just before we moved here from Cambridge.I do believe I'm very happy with our front entrance now. 😊
It's not like I'm a fussy tart or anything, right?
Stew is back in the office today, so I will be home alone again.
I have the entire day to do literally nothing.
The carpet gets finished tomorrow... so I can't put anything else away from in the garage.
So... maybe I will do some sewing?
Let's wait and see...
So.. there is an FBG Picnic this morning, out at Lake Karapiro.
I've decided to attend. Its been ages since I saw any of the FBG group.
2.45 pm: And I'm finally home from Cambridge. I went over early, so I could look in a couple of new gift shops that had opened since we lived there.
I ended up finding a good Christmas present for someone.
Then I went out to the lake and had a really lovely, relaxing, enjoyable time with a small group of the FBG's. I felt so happy being with them.
We all had lovely long yaks, then went on our merry ways.
ABOVE: We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather, or scenery.
ABOVE: My mistake of the day. The cafe didn't have Diet Coke, so I tried what they had. It gets 2/10. 1 point cos it was wet. 1 point cos it was cold. No more points cos it was freakin' disgusting! Lesson learnt. Don't leave ya Diet Coke in the car.
On my way home I stopped at another gift shop in Cambridge. And saw a little side table/coffee table that would be PERFECT for between two lounge chairs. Did I buy it? Hmmmmm.
Let's wait and see. 😂😅😆
Yeah. I have quite the headache going on right now. So, a panadol or two and a lie down might be next on the agenda. Damn annoying cos it came on real fast outta nowhere. Grrrrr.
10 pm, still got the headache.
BUT... I made a delicious potato and bacon salad for dinner tonight. Stew was very happy.
Loves his food does Stewie.
Been relaxing this evening ... just watching TV.
Stew put a couple of things back out in the sunroom, in readiness for tomorrow.
I will move the lounge chairs and smaller things that we brought back into the family room, tomorrow morning.
And that's a wrap on the day. I've enjoyed today, even with the damn headache.
