Days that follow
A round-up of sorts.
So, we're getting back into the swing of things here following our holiday. I've been tackling the laundry we brought back with us (so much of it ... starting to feel like a bloody washer woman!), clearing the mess left by the builders and generally trying to get back into a routine. Kind of.
Tim ended up doing a days overtime this week so went back to work a day earlier than he should of done. No biggy - he wasn't there very long anyway which prompted me to think that they didn't really actually need him that much anyway *shrugs*. He's working this bank holiday coming which will be interesting to see if it's busy or whether everyone has sodded off to escape the rain.
My new bathroom is divine and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Yes, I can get excited about a bathroom - if you'd seen it before you'd know why. It was crap. Now it's white and shiney and modern - a joy to clean! We've got a bit of a leak under the toilet and another under the sink which the workmen have to come back out and look at but other than that it's gorgeous.
We finally (I hope!) have cured our computer of it's power supply problem. My brother had it while we were away and put in a new graphics card for me (back to Sims yay!) but was baffled by the power problem. Anyway, in the end, some guy came out yesterday evening and sorted it for us (and only charged £35 - bargain!)
Evenings are drawing in aren't they? I kind of like it - I look forward to Halloween and Guy Fawkes night and stuff (I'm such a kid!) I've also been snuggling down on a Friday night and watching The Tudors which, whilst not being entirely historically accurate, is jolly entertaining. Poor old Anne Boleyn *laughs* y'know she's headed for the block - it's like watching a car crash in slow motion. I had to laugh at Henry though - utterly devoted until she gave birth to Elizabeth and then it's like "oh right!! you've had a girl, well that's that then - I'm off with other ladies!" And off he went - getting the Duke of Suffolk (the utterly yummy Henry Cavill) to chat up other women for him (can't even do his own dirty work pah!!)
Tim and I have been planning some places to go with the kids to enjoy the remaining summer weather. Definately going up Hengistbury Head again, it's one of my most favourite walking spots and also hoping to go to "the fossil beach" (the name of which temporarily eludes me) further up the coast. Must do Corfe Castle too - haven't been there for YEARS. Oh, and more berry picking soon *smiles*.
