EXHAUSTED

 

Is it possible to wake up feeling like you have already done a full day's work?

If so, I think Stew and I feel like that.

Being on the go for several days, doing jobs we are not used to doing, is taking it's toll.

If I only get the curtains up today, I'll be happy.  I have to go and exchange one set of curtains, as I got the measurements wrong.  Derr.

Stew is going to assemble the new dining suite today.  I can't wait to see it!  

I will be ringing the Plumber/Gasfitter and the Electrician today, to tee up a time they can come over and suss out the jobs we need them to do.

I think fitting the new laundry tub is top of the list.  I need to do some washing in the next couple of days.

We are also ringing around to get a quote for a Home Ventilation System, as this home does not have that.

ABOVE:  I shortened ONE net curtain last night.  Then I ran out of energy again.

I decided not to hang any curtains last night.  I did not want to hang them up, then take them down to shorten them, then re-hang them.  I'm too goddam tired for that.

Because we are both running on empty, we WILL be pacing ourselves better today.  We really do have to just slow down!

12.03 pm:  Lacy and Bex came around, and brought all the pots and garden stuff that was stored at Bex's home.

They helped us position it all too, which was an enormous help.

ABOVE: A dozy bumble bee.

ABOVE:  A 'Welcome to your new home' gift basket was delivered... From the Village Management.

ABOVE: Lily in her socks on the wet grass.  She was having an absolute BLAST running around.

ABOVE:  Cooper and Lacy, he's the builders dog.

There's jobs getting done all over the village at the moment.

ABOVE:  Out the front now has more of our garden stuff.  I'm so happy with how it all looks.

I have managed to hang two sets of net curtain so far today.

I'm about to go out and buy one more set of curtains.

I really hope by the end of today we have all the windows sorted.

Curtains are bought  and a small bin for my sewing area.

Stew has been busy while I was out...

ABOVE:  He has assembled our new table, and is now working on the chairs.

I have lunch cooking in the oven... not sure if I've got the settings right in the oven that is here?  I'll soon find out if I've burnt lunch, or not cooked it at all.  😂😅

After lunch I will shorten the curtains for our bedroom... I want them done by end of day.

The other ones don't matter as much, as there's curtains up already.

They are going though ... I cannot stand burgundy curtains in my home.  Nice if you like them .... anyone want some???

Lunch is over, and then we wandered down to the Village Management office to get all the legal eagle shit sorted.

AND we got the pass to the pool and spa pool.

Yes Peta, we will be getting in the spa tonight to soak and relax.  I can't wait!

ABOVE: 5.20 pm:  Our bedroom nets are up....

ABOVE:  And our bedroom curtains.  Tonight I can get changed in my bedroom.  Excellent!

That was a big job getting them done.

Tomorrow I get a break from all of it.

7.30 and we are done for the day.

We went down to the Community Centre and had a soak in the hot tub.  I felt so relaxed, it was wonderful.  It was the exact right temperature for me, not too hot, not too cool.

Now we are back at our home, and are going to have a light dinner, then do NOTHING else for the day.

Catch ya tomorrow.
