Another hectic day although I managed to sleep until past 7am this morning but getting up early steals a march on the jobs in hand and the DVD orders were quickly prepared and Mandy despatched them a lighter load than the catch up yesterday. Kevin and his fitter from Winning Kitchens came round to take care of a few last jobs, well not quite last there are some extra shelves to come. Most of the kitchen equipment is now back in place and slowly the dining and living rooms have lost their piles of boxes. I took advantage of a break in the rain to get the lawns mown, the borders tidied and a glass pane in the greenhouse resecured plus some propping up and staking of plants. Generally the garden looks good albeit sodden. The rain started again late afternoon by which time we'd been to John Lewes's in Handforth Dean and purchased new kitchen chairs, a new vacuum cleaner, pedal bin and toaster then on to Northwich to Waitrose for food shopping including items to restock the freezer which had defrosted whilst the kitchen works were in progress. We then went to find window blinds for the kitchen, we had hoped for tangerine colour but it looks as if it will end up lime green which just everyone seems to be having. Back home for a quick bacon sandwich and thence to Liverpool where Jennie Wishart ( Mandy's cousins daughter)was having the preview of her art exhibition at a cafe in the heart of Liverpool a tremendous achievement for displaying her work. We selected two pictures, one of which had already gone so a flying start.Too late back now to get any more things done, the Malta editing is continuing amidst all the other jobs , we have 4 truck and 1 bus so far but this will increase, I haven't done the covers yet but hopefully it will all be finished by the weekend. It's the village fete Saturday, more and more rain forecast, we volunteered to help, I hope it isn't an afternoon of getting cold and wet and setting up is tomorrow tea time, oh joy of joys. On with Malta then.. Comments are closed.
