Yesterday, I upgraded my blog website which will give me much more freedom to share my crafts and recipes alongside my daily blog yay!!!!!
Defo onto the messy stage of the renovation. My builder Alan knocked a huge hole in the ceiling to access the ring main so that he could put in my down lighter spots and my three fisherman lamps which will move from over the breakfast bar in the old kitchen to their new place over the centre of the island. He is now chasing the walls to fit the new sockets. Sarah is going to check to see if there is a piece of granite/marble/quartz that would be big enough for the island. This would do 2 things,
1. Give me a stunning centrepiece to the kitchen
2. More importantly give me an ice-cold surface to do my baking and fondant work on.
So this is close of play today. New sockets in and wires pulled for the tumble dryer, washing machine and wine fridge.
Had a phone call this morning from a disgruntled mother unit. She was demanding to know why I wasn't round there ready to take her out shopping. I explained that it was only Thursday and our shopping day was Friday, it took a bit of convincing for her to accept it was Thursday. Have to say she was not best pleased haha. More worryingly she said that I had not put her meds up right this week. Which I had, but she insisted there were tablets missing. As I am in the process of putting up next weeks meds I will be double-checking to make sure things are right from this end.
I guess shops, venues and hotels and the like are scrabbling for business to get themselves back on an even keel. My cruise friends and I have booked a sneaky long weekend away at the end of May. Actually, we have been trying to get this particular weekend away for a year and a half. Each year we take turns and this time it has fallen to me to do all the arrangements. Well, I started back in September 2019 for April 2020, but something happened, wonder what that could have been so we cancelled and reorganised it for October 2020 thinking it would be all back to normal by then, I would now ask you to stop following about laughing, so a second cancellation was put in place. At the beginning of this year 2021, I tried again and so far the trip is on. But with 6 weeks to go, I got a bit of a shock on Tuesday, when the hotel took the full payment for the three nights accommodation in one go out of my account. But a quick phone call to my lovely cruise friends and it was all put straight. I suppose the upshot is that it is one less thing to worry about and should we have to move the dates again, the hotel will accommodate that at no extra charge. So the picture is Southwell Minister in Nottinghamshire which is where we are going.
