I spotted some spring flowers popping about 4” above the
ground yesterday; what?! It’s January 14th,
what are they doing coming through now?
It’s a cold January 14th too, can’t imagine they will be
liking the frost.
My family have just moved house, so I reckon there will be a
few more of these kind of surprises coming my way. Just like the sink leaking was a surprise,
there were clear signs that a shower upstairs had leaked on the lounge ceiling
and wall, I discovered a border had been wall papered on to another border the
other day.... can you believe that? Our
bed does not fit into a space between in-built drawers, but when I move the
drawers, I discover the carpet has been cut to the drawers! Classic! And on it will go I’m sure.
The boss of the house wants a new kitchen, and a wall
down in the kitchen, so I’ve had the pleasure of builders doing their thing
recently. No pain, no gain is what I
keep telling myself, as the constant and repetitive sound of a drill hammer
causes a deep vibration throughout the whole house and my head. And the dust.... oh the dust. It gets up your nose, and manages to get in
every room of the house, covering absolutely everything; how does it do that? Shutting doors makes no difference, using ‘dust
covers’.... forget it. So we’re deep in
the doo dars at the moment, it’s all happening.
I’m putting up basket ball hoops in the back garden, stripping wall
paper, putting up coat hangers, a shed (that was exciting I can tell you, it
had 60 odd steps to the instructions....nice), and the list goes on and
on. I secretly quite enjoy all these
jobs, but don’t tell the boss.... it’s a rare and very valuable bargaining
tool.
Anyway, must crack on.
I have 4 hour lessons planned in the schedule today and tomorrow, I
quite enjoy them, the amount of progress that can be made is phenomenal.
