In Between Days

Monday

We are having flooring fitted in the hall, the carpet that was there was damaged beyond repair from me being in that wheelchair and the one for the shower/loo. The guy was supposed to start today, but couldn't get, we understood the reason, he had childcare issues, still some little alarm bells were ringing is this going to be a problem? I'm a suspicious and cynical person. So we just had a chill day and fingers crossed all will come good.

Tuesday.

Well, he came at 10.30 am and got cracking, repairing and sealing the boarding under the now ripped up and disposed of carpet. Removed the gripper rods, and put the thin cement on the areas of the floor that needed levelling. He left then until 4pm to let that set, returning to pour the resin screed to truly level the whole floor. He left about 6.30pm, and will return in the morning when it will be fully set so he can then lay the tiles. 

It meant we couldn't meet Sue and Pete this week, which made me sad as I do love seeing them both, but we can meet up next Tuesday instead. We had the challenge of not stepping on the hall floor for 5 hours. And making sure a very put out Willow doesn't poddle all over it. Which meant a shut door, which she really doesn't like, I mean, we keep all the doors open because she has the run of her bungalow... So she is a bit sulky at the moment, but I can't wait to listen to her pitter patter down the hall in the middle of the night once it's done. 

In Between Days

Saturday.

Bitterly cold morning reminiscent of mid winter not early spring. Dug out gloves and sat shivering at the bus stop. 

A busy day, and a mad dash for the bus at the end of it, we made the 33 by the skin of our teeth. 

I'd had a bad night's sleep Friday into Saturday and it took its toll when I got home, another early night for me. I can remember going out at the same time as I go to bed! Blimey I'm old... 

Sunday.

It bucketed down as we went to the Bramble Way bus stop and onward to work. I was soaked despite having a rain coat on over my work jacket. Even when I got home that evening my socks were still squelchy from the morning. Busy but pleasant shift, a few Sunday Zombies, but not many. For saying Forest were at home traffic was OK because they were still playing when the bus went through Bridgeford. 

I'd forgotten about it being Whitby, it's been a while now since we've been, but a few friends posted pics up, looks like everyone is having fun. We have some great memories of our WGW times, but I no longer miss it like I did, one I know I couldn't cope with the hills, the late nights, the drinking ( I'd be on my back now after a couple now!) and the dressing up, I'll always wear black and love all things dark and gloomy, but the thought of corsets, new rocks pvc all day and night seems a bit like torture to me now. But I love seeing pictures of all the baby bats in all their glory.

Friday. 

Up and showered, then I set to stamping some images out using my new archival coloured inks. 

It was a good delivery day from Evri ( makes a change!) My Rsvlts shirt came, my scrapbook papers and my Marie cat plushie from Disney. She's so cute and was an absolute bargain... I've just got to have a jig around in the bedroom for her to have a permanent place to live... Picture below... My shirt fits well and I'm very happy with it, they are great quality and this one has all the haunted mansion icons on it. Again picture below...
