A SECOND VIEWING... THEN FAMILY HERE FOR LUNCH, AND DINNER

 

And here we are, the last Friday before Christmas.

And I do believe I am ready for it.

First up for the day, we have people coming for their second viewing of our home.  Hopefully that goes well.  I will, of course, update you if there's any news, or not.

After the viewing, I am going to get something yummy for lunch, as Stew and his sister Khady are coming home for lunch today.  Khady is passing through Hamilton, and is stopping in to visit with us.  That will be lovely, we really enjoy seeing her.

Next, we have some family coming for dinner, and early Christmas Present opening, as they won't be here in Hamilton on Christmas Day.

I have the last three presents to wrap today, then I will be totally done with presents.

Unless I get the urge to go and get myself something (on Stew's behalf of course!) 😂😉

ABOVE:  My gorgeous pottery house had a big chunk of it's roof knocked off quite some time ago, and I finally got around to repairing it.

I stuck some brown fabric over the gap, glued it in place, then glued lichen and pebbles over the fabric.  It looks really good I must say!  You wouldn't even know it was ever broken.  I might even add more lichen in other places on the roof, to tie it all in.

I love it when I get an idea that works.  😊

And that's all I have for now, go off and have a wonderful day, cos I'm going to.

ONWARD...

It's 9 am, and I have done everything necessary, except the very last minute things.

I'm feeling so damn tired today.  I got NO SLEEP at all last night.  Just overthinking everything.

I've been out and bought some lovely club sandwiches for our lunch.  Now I am just killing time until I need to get out of here.

My plans for this afternoon?  Take a NAP!

11.21 am:  And the 2nd viewing is over.  And now we wait for feedback.  Nerve wracking.

In the meantime, I can now await Stew and Khady's arrival for lunch.

Coco won't get out of the car.  I put the dogs in the car and take them with me when there's a viewing.  But today, Coco is refusing to leave the car!  She loves the car obviously.  Marley, not so much.  I wonder how long she will stay there?  It's very hot in the garage...

1.52 pm:  YES, Coco got out of the car when Stew and Khady arrived home for lunch.  We had a very lovely visit with Khady.  And now they have gone back to town and I'm here on me own again.

All is good.

Nothing from the Estate Agent yet.  *sigh*

BIG FAT NO from the second viewing.  They just pointed out all the things that they didn't like about the house!  So why the hell did they come back for a second viewing and completely waste my time?  I'm so angry right now.

9.24 pm and our dinner guests have just left.  We have had a really LOVELY evening, it really perked me up.

Nothing like good company and a couple of tipples to perk ya up!

ABOVE:  I cooked Spaghetti Bolognese for dinner, then Andrew made us dessert.  We had ice creams dipped in popping candy!

ABOVE: That popping candy was rather fun I must say!  Quite an experience.

Stew and I just finished packing the car in readiness for tomorrow's early start.

AND the clouds are gathering... it is going to piss down tomorrow!  I don't know why we are going to be honest.  But, as it's the last market before Christmas, we better I suppose.

And with that, I'm done for the day.  I won't be long out of bed for sure.

Catch ya tomorrow.
