Today I am mostly getting plastered, and not in a good way.
I'll probably get skimmed later, and sparked in a day or so.
We have builders in.
After that's done, I have loads of painting to do (joy and delight) and then a load of laminate to lay.

No, don't bloody 'Like' it!
I don't like it, so I don't see why anyone else should!

Seriously, I shall be pleased and satisfied when it's all done.
Finding and project managing window fitters, plasterers, and electricians, and working out which bits I can do myself (painting and laying laminate) is not my idea of happy fun times. The cost savings were well worth it though - we'll end up with a fully rewired, redecorated and refloored 26' by 15' home office / workspace for well under £6000, according to the spreadsheet.
I've still got a stud wall to build as well. Need to at least get the base plates in before I lay the floor...

I just bought 2 pineapples for a quid from Lewisham market. I just weighed them: 2.8kg. I pity those poor Costa Rican farmers. They must get hardly anything for their fruit.

Don't ask me how but I set off and then fell off my bike spectacularly within about a meter!! I ended up on my back with my belongings strewn across the road. A nice man came to check I was ok! Which I am, just a little confused quite how it happened! (And bruised/grazed down my right hand side!)

I haven't yet decided which day I'll pop down to Weston Super Air Day, I'll have to see what the weather peeps say is the best day.

Earlier I was 'face timing'

I think it involved i-phones and Internet magic, but it meant I could wave at my little Great Niece from the safety of another town

To be honest Potsy, we all feel safer when you're in another town

My day gets better and better.... I decided to go in the quail cage to chat to them, and collect eggs, try to bribe them with meal worms etc. Mr Summerdays, stuck his head around the door, took the eggs them went back to his PC (at the front of the house).

Eventually I decided to leave, only to discover my idiot husband had shot the bolt home!! Lots of shouting (including statements about how stupid husbands could be), eventually attracted the attention of youngest summerling! Mr Summerdays is now being nice to me
