SOMETHING BIG

 

Yesterday I went out looking for some really thick, warm pants to wear to markets.  There's at least 3 more really cold markets to endure.

I didn't find any pants.  So I'm back to thinking of getting a sleeping bag, a really good quality one.  So later on today I might go out to find one.

Fingers crossed I find something, cos our next market is this coming Saturday.  And the temperatures in the morning right now are ZERO DEGREES.  

Also yesterday, I bought some earphones for my phone... but I can't get them to work.  So that's something else I want to sort out today.  I shall take them back to the store and ask them to show me how to get them to connect to me phone.  Lacy tried making them work last night.  She got them to connect to my laptop, but not my phone.  

There is one more thing on the agenda today.  But that is a 'not gunna tell ya' one.  You will just have to wait and see.

It could be this morning, or sometime after lunch.  

Catch ya later.

Audrey:  I did buy thermal long johns and polar neck tops.... and when I wear THREE polar tops under my jacket I am warm up top ... it does not work for my legs!

And wearing three pairs of thermals under your 'normal' winter clothes makes moving VERY HARD!  

That is why I'm thinking of a sleeping bag to actually climb into, and unzip when I need to stand up and move.

ANON AND PAULA:  I will go to The Warehouse and Mountain Warehouse today.  I asked at Kathmandu yesterday about ski pants, and the bloke there said they don't actually keep you WARM, they just keep you dry.

But, I will persevere, as I really need something fast. There is NOTHING worse than being at a winter market for 6.5 hours and BEING FREEZING.  I literally get home chilled to the bone. It can't be good for you surely?

1.10 pm:  And IT HAPPENED!

This house FEELS LIKE HOME NOW.

It is incredibly how much having this lounge suite has 'MADE' the house feel like ours!

I am so very happy.

ABOVE: The lounge suite arrived in masses of boxes, so Lacy cut them all up...

ABOVE:  Then she loaded it all in her car, and took it down to our recycling area.

ABOVE: The centre console of our larger sofa.  It has a contactless phone charger.

ABOVE:  If I push that little button...

ABOVE: Two cup holders emerge!

ABOVE: The entire centre console.  I love the lift up bit, where you can store all the shit you like to have beside you.

ABOVE: The recliner control panels.  AND another charging station, so all up there's 5 charging stations!  Plus you can adjust the back rest and head rests to your own comfort.  I LOVE IT!

Stew loves that the head rests can go UP, perfect for a taller person.  I love that there's adjustable back support.  So comfortable.

ABOVE: Last but not least, at the end of each side is a pull out storage area, and another cup holder.   OMG so handy for magazines, papers and what not.  They will usually stay closed.

BEFORE anyone tells me.... I know I will need to centre the shell painting above the couch!  It looks so wrong, so that will get done this evening when Stew can do it for me.

BUT.... doesn't it look like our home now or what!  

7.56 pm, Stew arrived home and we did some 'tweaking' in the lounge.  Had some dinner, and now we are just chillin' out.  Watching some telly.  Then off to bed.  

Catch ya tomorrow.
