Coco is getting groomed this afternoon.
Until then, I am going out and about to look at bathroom fittings. A new shower and vanity. We are removing the bath as we don't need it. (there is a lovely hot tub to soak in at our new village)
AND when we gut the bathroom, we can use the community facilities until our new bathroom is ready. So lucky that is an option.
I am taking a few things over to Steve and Bex's this morning as well. Not much, cos seriously, I'm running out of outside 'stuff' to take over there.
Once I get home, I might do some sewing. We will see.
I canned going out to look at bathroom fittings, I decided I'd rather do that with Stew. That way we are both choosing what to get.
I have the car loaded up with stuff to take over to Steve 'n' Bex's.
I should be in the sewing room finishing at least a couple of those smaller runners... but the will is not there.
Maybe tomorrow?
I went out and about, visited Bex and Lily, dropped off some stuff ... then went window shopping. Just thinking... planning... and so on.
Tonight Stew and I will be getting our heads together and plotting a mini break for in eleven days time. The East Cape/Gisborne is our intended destination. It is one area of the North Island we have not visited. We wanted to do it in 2020, but a bloody cyclone, closely followed by COVID put paid to that idea. Now we have decided to do it.
And mental. She literally runs around the house like a mad woman, rolling around, bouncing and SMILING! Yep, smiling. She is just so happy to be out of that freakin' van! 😂😊
I have had an awesome afternoon, best one in a while. I need to remind myself that sewing really does make me happy. My HAPPY PLACE.
I got four of the smaller runners finished this afternoon.
They will be on the blog tomorrow... cos right now I'm about to sort out our dinner.
DINNER - TICK
WATCH CORONATION STREET - TICK
PLAN EAST CAPE/GISBORNE TRIP - TICK
DO SOME JIGSAW PUZZLING - TICK
SAY NITE NITE..... DOING.
Have fun choosing your bathroom fittings!
ReplyDeleteCould I make a suggestion please? Because this is a "retirement" style home, perhaps your bathroom could be one of those easy access types? So that people with mobility issues can get it? My in-laws remodelled theirs when they needed care to make the shower open (with a curtain), detachable shower hose, rails, and easy access if a chair or stool was needed. Maybe something like that? Because when it's eventually sold, it'll be to someone older who may need those facilities? Just adding my 2 cents worth anyway. xx Colleen.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day and focus on the things you love
ReplyDeleteWhen is it time to the cutting of your hydrangea or are they something you won't be doing this time Chris. Are you making a walk in shower unit? That the thing mummisses most here we put one in at her house in twizel this place has a small cubital and not only not much rom for her shower stool but also hard for her to breath sometimes
ReplyDeleteCould be a good idea re the wet floor bathroom easier to do it now rather than if needed later. I found that out after I fractured my hip. Couldnt use the ensuite as couldnt access the shower (because I was using a walker). All ok now but it was a pain at the time - Anne Palmy
ReplyDeleteThat's all? It's almost bedtime and there are only 4 sentences on your blog....
ReplyDeleteStarting in 12 hours - I am going to be extraordinarily busy for the next 2 months. If my comments go missing - that is why.
I am starting a "new job". Working on the crew / set of a movie that is filming locally. Get this! HAHA. I am in charge of the snack table! Officialy known as Craft Services. I will be working 12 hour days, 5 days a week, with 1 hour commute each way. I am so excited! I LOVE behind the scenes type stuff. I thought it would be filmed with a bunch of unknown actors... BUT - there are 5, yes five, known actors. As in... Movies, netflix, HBO, blah blah blah... .
Whoops... I forgot to hit 'PUBLISH'... though in all fairness I have been very slack today. Your job sounds so exciting! What fun. Wish I could do something like that. But the opportunities are not there. I understand how busy you will be and will miss you dreadfully Christine. But you do your job and enjoy yourself. Take care on the commuting.
DeleteI wish my landlords had put in a wet floor bathroom.would have been so .much easier for me. Have a great trip together? Kj
