When I was dyeing leggings yesterday I remembered these tights that I wore a few years ago... they were buried deep in a drawer I never even open!
ABOVE: White leggings that I'd doctored for an ABBA Tribute concert. I am going to take the orange tassels off and shorten them, so I can wear them over summer.
Might as well use them, cos I'm never going to wear them like that again. 😊
I might even use that t-shirt again too. I can wear it with the white leggings once I take the tassels off. It's a bit 'out there', but I don't care.
I'm expecting Lacy for a visit today, which will be nice. She's not been around as much lately.
There's a Hospice Op Shop over in Frankton that I want to visit... so I might drag Lacy along with me this morning. It's always nicer shopping with company.
Once we get home, if I've not heard from the Asphalt company by then, I will send them a very polite email, asking them what is happening with our driveway?
I reckon they are going to put their heads in the sand for a couple of months at least.
I hope I'm wrong.
ABOVE: An umbrella stand (or plant stand?). It's metal, not sure what sort though. I rather like it.
It's really hot today, and all I can smell is tar seal (asphalt). And I reckon it's going to melt and run when it gets even hotter. Why? Cos I'm 100% certain in was a 2nd or 3rd grade batch they used on our driveway, which would account for many of the faults in it.
ABOVE: OMG the pool was so good this afternoon! It cooled us all down, and made the late afternoon heat bearable.
the driveway disaster continues. what a mess.
ReplyDeleteBloody hell. I reckon they broke a water pipe, and under that driveway is going to be mush. The whole lot will need to come up, the ground left to settle, then re done.
ReplyDeleteholy cow. good point. who will cover that cost? i mean if there is a lake under your driveway - that can't be good.
DeleteThreaten to put a sign outside saying who the driveway was done by. Kj
ReplyDeleteIf the driveway looks OK from a distance the sign would act as publicity for them - don't want that. Audrey
Deleteugh what a freaking nightmare
ReplyDeleteLove the stand from Hopice shop,
ReplyDeleteNever fail to get bargains there when we get to shop there,
Have a fab afternoon
🥂 Cheers
That is exactly what I think too. I looked carefully at your pictures and then went to an area newly black topped here and the products were very different. I think you need a lawyer.
ReplyDeleteHospice 😂shop I meant ,love your top in the top pic neat idea to shorten the tights
ReplyDeleteThat was a fab Abba outfit when you wore it ,,
Cheers 🥂
Nothing like our driveway.
ReplyDeleteYep they definitely sound like the dodgy ones who go around half finishing driveways in Australia. Do they have an actual office you can go visit?
ReplyDeleteThey are a reputable firm, have an address here in Hamilton and came highly recommended. We just need them to stand by their work now, and put it right.
DeleteFor a reputable firm they do shoddy work. I would be pushing them to right their wrongs!!
ReplyDeleteLove the pink leggings 😍
Gosh, I've not been reading blogs much lately so I was a bit behind with what you've been up to. I am heart-broken that you've got this stress of the asphalt to deal with. A classic fair go issue... like you say, you've got it all documented with photos which don't lie.
ReplyDeleteNow, I LOVE those pink leggings! Which brand of dye and what colour was that pink?? I'm guessing you picked it up at Spotlight 😉
DYLON, Passion Pink, Intense Colour. I used half the pack, halved all the quantities for one pair of leggings.
