ODD JOBS

Today will be a good day.

I am going to do several jobs around the house, that have been bugging me for a little while.

They were 'too small' to demand immediate attention, but now that the 'big' things are done, I can attend to them.

I had a lovely chat with a nephew of mine late yesterday, followed by a chat with an Aunt and Uncle as well.  It cheered me up no end.  I love my family.  I don't reach out enough, keeping in touch is so important.

I am going to do it more often.

ABOVE: Coco had a blast on the village lawns yesterday.  She hopped and skipped all over the place.  But her endurance is shot.  She had to stop and take a breather a few times, bless her.

We are so lucky she's keeping well at her age.

She gave us a little scare a couple of months ago, but has bounced back.

You heard the saying 'Plenty of life in the old dog yet'?  Yeah.  That's our Coco.

Righty ho... I'm going read the news in bed before getting up.  Catch ya later.

  

FELICITY: You are quite right, I forgot to post a photo of the wall, without the gas heater!

ABOVE: So there it is, no heater.  I've still got to hang the fish above the tv, it's on the list for today.

I am not going to be painting the wall just yet, I need to be in the right head space for that shit job.

ABOVE: First job of the day, change out 11 kitchen handles from pewter to black.  Half the existing handles were held on with tiny little nuts.  I didn't have a spanner that small, so out came the pliers.  That worked.

ABOVE:  11 down, 7 to go.  I'm waiting for them to arrive from Mitre 10.  They should be here soon enough.  No rush.

The next job was putting my copper fish on the lounge wall.  It's taken 6.5 weeks to get that damn heater off the wall, so I can now put me fish up.

ABOVE: Now that looks right!  Stew gave me that copper snapper for my 50th birthday, and she's always gone above the telly.

Now, on to my next job.

ABOVE:  lol... one of the SMALLEST jobs is done.  I used some of the excess chain from the kitchen blind, and a joiner, and sorted out the kitchen sink plug.  I got sick of using a fork to get it out of the friggin plug hole.

ABOVE: Next job was to cook up some Granny Smith Apples, and the Tamarillos we were given on Saturday, and turn them into a pie.

Stew and I will enjoy having some of that for our 'dinner' tonight.  Who says you have to eat meat and veges every night eh?  😂😋
