A New Game ...

I was blog browsing this morning and came across Twinkle Pink's clever photo and thought it would be fun to 'have a go' myself. So, with no further ado, as the saying goes, please enjoy this bundle of clouds and sunsets. I know you've seen some of them before, but they were the easiest to put together for this experiment.

I'd really appreciate some constructive criticism as to whether the slide show is too long, too short, too boring, easy on the eye or otherwise, etc as this is a whole new world for me. I've just noticed that you can speed it up if you wish, which might not be a bad thing!

Meanwhile, I spent most of yesterday emulsioning the hall, stairs and landing. Just a little bit to finish off and then I can start on the next room!! Decisions, decisions ... sitting room (cluttered), our bedroom (even more cluttered), spare bedroom (don't go there). And as for bed 3/the office/this place where I spend too much time ... it's a non-starter until the electrician has done his stuff. My desk/corner/life has to be removed to enable him to get wiring up through the floorboards from the meter downstairs, up into the roof, across the roofspace to the other side of the house and down into the bathroom for the shower and towel rail. Oh joy ... where will I be put? And will I ever find anything again?

I worry about me sometimes ... I've just offered to get the paintbrush out at Mum's before her new carpets are laid (that gives me about 3 weeks). So I can't stay chatting. That's now 2 houses to decorate before the wedding. I might just have to be the first mother-of-the-bride who turns up in designer paint-slatter. I'll soon be in panic mode as I think the next few weeks are going to be some of the busiest I've experienced in several years!In 10 days' time I'll be emptying all my stock from Somerton Antiques Centre and transporting it (not sure how yet - you've seen the size of my car) to Dairy House Antiques at Semley (30 miles away).

Bathroom's taking shape by the way. The plumber achieved and will be back to achieve even greater things tomorrow (with a bit of luck and a fair wind). And I must go shopping ... I'm running out of time. It's hubby's birthday on Wednesday (he'll be 63, but don't tell anyone!) and I only have tomorrow free. I knew his birthday was soon, but I didn't appreciate quite HOW soon as I have one of those lives where day-to-day living doesn't often require knowledge of actual dates. I must address this as the pre-wedding days are ticking away rapidly and if I'm not careful we shall be into post-wedding days and I'll still be chasing my tail.

I'll keep you posted!

PS I've just counted up all the blogs that I've listed in my favourites (rather than having them all on my sidebar. I have 110 - so if you think I'm ignoring you I'm probably not. You could well be part of my daily blog fix! Have a jolly day!
