Good at procrastinating
Mr B is good at DIY but the herringbone flooring has him beat. He called the shop and asked for a flooring guy to come and do it.

How can it be 18 years since we lost my mum? So much I'd like to talk about and laugh with her.
As I approach the age she was when she died it gets more poignant somehow.

Phew! I've been assured that my new furniture will be delivered as expected so I feel better about that now.
I do still have my old table and chairs in storage "just in case" although my dresser went at the weekend.

Choking on a bit of mushroom in my breakfast omelette was not how I wanted to start my day!
It went down the wrong way!

I contacted the furniture company yesterday to see whether it's likely that I'll actually get my furniture that I ordered a month ago before Christmas.
I'll give them until Monday and then I'll ring them. I've got tomorrow to decide whether to cancel and go elsewhere.
Annoying. 😡

DS is now a cat dad. The transatlantic journey only upset said cat a bit but hopefully he'll settle within a few days.

I've not done any sewing for a while and I've never done the thing of shortening jeans and putting the original hems back on so I'm quite pleased with how it worked out. And only a few swear words!
Brand new jeans bought for £2.50 in a charity shop can now be worn.

I've taken a chance on the sunshine and put the bedding on the line to dry. Don't know how long it'll last so I might as well!
Everything 🤞🏼

Is now a good time to say that I have never seen Annie Hall?

Flu jab day today

Bought the flooring for the dining room today. Now I just need to choose a paint colour, pack up the dresser contents,get rid of the furniture, paint the walls and get the floor down before the new furniture gets here.
No biggie!

I very much enjoyed #HouseOfGuinness.
I'm sure some of it was preposterous tosh but that didn't matter.
There'd better be a second series!

Is now the time to say that I have never read anything by Jilly Cooper?

I'm very glad there's a bench almost at the top of our hill that I can perch on for 10 minutes before the hard steep bit to our house.
And it's a nice day today too.

Mr B has just asked what I would like to do for our Anniversary.
It's next May.
But it will be our 40th so at least he's thinking about it.
Worth celebrating eh?

I've started sorting out the dresser which will be going and I found a box of After Eights hiding in the back.
Result!

Watching a program on BBC2 about brains. Absolutely fascinating!
The presenter did the address at DS' Graduation.

So I might have* just bought some new Scandi style furniture for the dining room.
*Definitely did

Now we have 5 weeks to choose a colour, paint, and possibly choose and put down new flooring before it arrives.
Exciting!

I haven't done a jigsaw puzzle in a while but I spotted this beauty on Vinted for a few quid, brand new so now it's mine! Love a bit of Mucha.

Our heating hasn't gone on yet but we have just flipped our mattress to the winter side.

So if your Mum doesn't give you Autism by taking a few painkillers in pregnancy, she doubles the chance by getting you vaccinated.
Right, got it.

I'm watching the Twiggy documentary on BBC2. Such a lovely woman.
