Plastic Tarp

Today we had to prepare the offices for some renovation work. Part of the floor has to be redone. The noise and mess were something else. More tomorrow, and then again end of next week. Aargh!

In With The New

And here's the shiny new appliance.

Out With The Old

I've been using this scruffy old oven/mini kitchen for way longer than originally intended. And now - at last! - it's been replaced. I've moved it out of the kitchen and into the living room, and it will be gone forever soon.

Framed

I got my two pictures back from the framer this morning. They will sit on this shelf with my brother's pot until I get them hung on the wall.

~ A year ago today I had cats at my house ~ 

Carpet

Latest addition to my sitting room. It's bold, but I like the colours and the pattern.

~ A year ago today I went to a birthday party ~ 

Lamp

My kitchen light takes three of these spots. They need replacing far too often. Of course it doesn't help if I drop them before I have installed them. I did this on the weekend: tiny fragments of glass and silver all over my kitchen - gah!
~ A year ago today I went to the beach ~ 

Stop

There is a new stop street in my neighbourhood. The traffic roars down the road in the morning... hopefully this will help to slow it down.
~ A year ago today I was eating cake ~ 

Glow

New lampshade. I think it looks okay.
~ A year ago today I was enjoying my beach holiday ~ 

Downpour

The first hard rains of winter arrived today. The drains outside our offices couldn't cope and the water came flooding in. Also, we had several leaks from the roof and had to get the buckets and mops out. Got to get some repairs done as soon as the weather improves.
~ A year ago today I was trying to clear my inbox ~ 

Globe

I've been meaning to buy a new bathroom light fitting for over a week. Finally got the thing... now I need to get on a chair and fit it.
~ A year ago today it was cloudy but hot ~ 

Mopping Up

I had to call the plumbers today... I thought the geyser had burst due to all the wet, but fortunately it was just a leaking pipe which had sprayed water everywhere. Hang on, didn't I do this just the other day?!
~ A year ago today I was smelling flowers ~ 

Fitting

Yet another thing that needs fixing (or better still, replacing) in my house... kitchen light. Damn bulb blown again.
~ A year ago today I was at my brother's house ~ 

Settings

I bought some new plates and cutlery today. I went for plain and simple.
~ A year ago today it was blowing a gale ~ 

Board

For the second time in as many days my plugs tripped and I had to battle my way past all the cleaning products in my tiny utility cupboard to reset at my electrical board. I wonder what the matter is.
~  A year ago today I was knitting ~

Ring

A week or so back one of my keys broke. Finally got around to have another one cut. In fact, did a whole spare set. One chore done off my long non-urgent to do list.
~ A year ago today I was sitting outside in the sunshine ~

Brick

I wasn't happy to see the painters painted over the exposed brickwork on the side of my building today. Don't know why they did that. I'm not mad about the colour either. Don't really care though... just want them to get finished.
~ A year ago today I was pleased with my garden was looking ~

Messy

The painting of the outside of my building is in full swing now. My cats aren't enjoying it and neither is my garden :(
~ A year ago today I saw Jane Eyre ~

A & B

My building is going to be painted soon. The painters are on site already, preparing the walls. And final decisions about colour are being made....
~ A year ago today I was travelling by plane ~

Rat-a-tat-tat

It is a wonder I got any work done at all today - had workers in the building, fixing our plumbing, workers outside my office window, loading and offloading building supplies, and workers on floor above doing who knows what. Noisy!
~ A year ago today I was getting excited about March lilies ~

Plunger

My kitchen sink is very temperamental... if I just look at it funny it clogs up. It's been doing to again this week. Sigh.
