Not a lot to smile about in some ways but a lot in others. I am housebound in a way because of the work going on in the house. We have to leave the door open so they can go in and out to the garage and back where most of the materials are stacked so we don't feel like leaving the house totally unattended when the workers are here. Hence me being housebound.
Various things happened like the plasterer not turning up which threw Tony a day behind with his plans but boy have they worked hard and long when they have been able to. Only took Sunday off last weekend. Now I have not to go in (no photos) as Christine has started doing the painting. I have left it entirely up to her - yes, this duo do the painting as well. Nothing to do when they leave and they clean up every night so no mess for me each evening.
Not sure how far they are willing to travel but they come from Formby area, I think, and travel to us in Bolton each day. Well pleased with them (sorry not meant to be an advert but ....) - I just keep the "brews" flowing.
Hopefully next week I will have lots to smile about and this week I am smiling because he has got rid of the step in the bathroom. Split level meant it jolted my hip every time I stepped down from the vanity units to leave the bathroom (loo on the bottom bit, washbasins on the top) but there is a down-side to that. It was going to be a feature and have led lights in the step that I could change the colour of. Was kind of looking forward to that but then it will be easier on me now and I am not going any younger. Maybe a reveal next week!
So picture-wise what can I show you that makes me smile. Chas has been in the little garden at the front, mown the lawn and is now busy weeding the garden bit. Such a shame my poppies and the azalea have got battered by the rain yesterday, it was looking lovely. And the peonies have totally been destroyed.
