BYE BYE LOUNGE SUITE

 

Here's hoping the builder can get the bathroom sorted out today, and we get our shower put in.  The shower won't be today though, more likely towards the end of the week now.

Moving on.  I advertised our last remaining lounge suite on Face Book Market Place.  Sold it yesterday, it's being picked up later on today.

Whoops.  Now we don't have much to sit on for the next two months.   I really didn't expect it to sell so quickly.  

I am borrowing a recliner from Lacy, and we will use the market chairs in the meantime.  Might not be ideal, but it actually beats having surplus furniture sitting piled up in the spare bedroom or lounge.

Space is at a premium in this house.

ABOVE: When Lacy was here yesterday afternoon I got her to tweak a few things in the garden. Move a pot or two.

ABOVE:  I had to laugh, it was the second time I'd asked her to move them.  

Now I have the final place decided upon for the weather vane.  I will show you once Stew has put the post and concrete in the pot. 

ABOVE: The next thing that got attended to... that freakin' Camellia bush.  It was threatening to block the sun from my kitchen.

ABOVE:  I pruned it. Didn't even kill it!  

ABOVE:  The electrician yesterday, cutting a hole in my freshly painted ceiling. I told him he better be 100% he was putting the hole in the right place!  Last thing I wanted was an 'Ooopsie', and having to get the ceiling patched up.

The last electrician did JUST THAT in our kitchen ceiling a couple of weeks ago.

And that's me for now... catch ya later.

It is damn cold!  I have caved in and turned the heat pump on.  I don't care what it costs... I can't spend all day lying in bed with the electric blanket on!  Nothing will get done.   

I've got carrots cooking in the pot right now.  I'm making a Carrot, Onion and Cheese bake for dinner.  With Pork Strips.  I am really looking forward to it.

My original plan was to make a carrot cake, but I changed my mind. 

Our lounge suite is going at lunchtime.  Lacy is coming over to help, and drop off the loaner recliner.  

ABOVE:  Marley is still with us.  It's neat having her visit.  She LOVES fetching balls, so luckily for her I had an old tennis ball.  We have been playing for about half an hour, I was hoping to wear her out, but no.  She would fetch balls all day long if she could.

ONE.    HOUR.   LATER....

ABOVE:  I stopped throwing the ball, so Marley did what Marley does.  And shoved her ball under a lounge chair, and then proceeded to DIG FOR IT.  I took the ball off her.

I don't want the chair damaged right before it's taken away by it's new owners.

I have now finished making our dinner, it's sitting in the fridge, ready to be shoved in the oven later on this afternoon.  It's going to be delish.

ABOVE:  The Reno guy arrived bright and early this morning.  He 'tweaked' the shower liner and is now... INSTALLING THE SHOWER.  How awesome.  We are not behind in the time line now.  So long as he gets it in... there's a fair bit of crashing and banging going on in the bathroom right now.  No swear words, so maybe it's ok.  😂😆😅
