Little furniture!

Last night I cut out the plans and then the pieces to make a Tudor style table and benches. Spent most of the evening making them whilst listening to cassettes of Sherlock Holmes for the radio recorded back in the day,so to speak!


This morning I did some clearing at the side of the house, we have never really sorted out the side entrance or the walled garden properly. I made quit good headway before it rained and then we had a massive hail storm!
I went and got some salad stuff to make Tina and I a slightly healthier lunch today, mushroom omelettes. We had eggs that needed using so I also made a cake.
I should say that we love our Gtech hoover but the on/off switch has been playing up. I phoned the company, I bought it direct from them, it is just inside warranty and we will get a replacement part tomorrow, he changed the address etc and also asked where to leave it if I am out. Really excellent customer service. I also phoned Taylor Tree Care about removal of the stumps, he has been to look already and will send me a quote.
I needed a few things at the shop and went into the charity shop as they had a sign for a tombola in store, to tickets for a pound. Just bought two and won the  main prize! Tina will take it as a prize at an event on Friday!
I sat in the summer house use for a while this afternoon and took some very poor pictures but of birds.the very blurred lines one is just to show the robin at the peanut butter feeder. I will attempt improvements!








Holby tonight!

  1. The furniture is coming on great. You’ll have that house furnished before you know it. Once you get into something there’s no stopping you. I’m really looking forward to seeing it all stained and varnished. Will look even better then.
    So you both have a healthy dinner then make a unhealthy cake! Or is it all for Darren to eat? 😊 Does look tasty though.
    You really are jammy with tombolas. I remember you winning the first prize lion in Scarborough a few years back. It’s very cute.
    The bird pics show the feeders are getting used. Glad to see you don’t always get them all in focus. Thought it was just me who did that 😊

  2. I am enjoying making the furniture at the moment.
    It was funny that the prize was that one, it is cute but I really don’t need it!
    So far the birds are enjoying the feeders and fingers crossed they will continue not being cat snacks!
