It was a homes and gardens projects weekend here. A plan to cut the lawn for the last time this year was scuppered when the lawn mower decided that it had had enough, fizzled and died. A plan to redecorate the downstairs toilet (2 years after the first 'shall we redo the loo' thought was voiced) ended up with a couple of trips to the local Homebase store. It was a wallpaper ordering, paint purchasing, lawnmower buying, wallpaper stripping, tile removing, patchwork quilt squares cutting, dog walking, slow roast shoulder of pork cooking, panettone bread and butter pudding baking kind of weekend.
So I've done my half day at work, and have to go back again later for 'safeguarding' training (which always upsets me when we have to discuss true case studies of at risk children) and just to make this Monday even less enjoyable, I have an afternoon with this ...
Because I cannot put off the evil task of clearing the ironing pile any longer. Unless I look to see if there's a puppy that's in need of a walk ...
How's your Monday shaping up? I think that instead of just waving to Sian who organised the Me on Monday idea, I'm going to pop round and visit to see if any of her secret recipe fudge/tablet is left.
sounds like y kind of redecorating time line! I was eyeing up the panatone in Tesco yesterday and thinking bread and butter pudding
ReplyDeleteI have a funny feeling that by the time you get there, it *might* be all gone! I hope the safe guarding training is not too harrowing.
ReplyDeleteNow if you came to visit then I wouldn't have to do any ironing either and that would be excellent all round!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who ended up clerking in Family Court for a while...he said it was the hardest job he'd ever done.
All the decorating sounds good. It's going to be a fresh paint smell kind of week then?
The quiltmaking definately sounds the best part.
ReplyDeleteI saw some of your quilt on instagram! It looks so lovely! Hope the training went ok. It's always tough,
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the decorating and I hope this evening is not too upsetting.
