Wednesday

Good morning, everyone.  It's not nice outside.  Raining heavily and, by the looks of it, has been raining for some time and will continue for some time.  Good for ducks, worms and the garden.
It's just as well I have no ourside plans for today.

Yesterday was cold and noisy.  Cold because for much of the day the front door needed to be open, as did the hall to living room door so that Matt could take my bathroom out to the skip, bucket by bucket and half a bath at a time.  I had already warned him that there were several layers of tiles on the walls so it wasn't a surprise of any kind and he made great inroads into the work so there's just a bit more to get off the walls now, but it did add to the number of journeys he had to make.

In a way, I will miss that bath.  It was big, way too big for such a small room really, and so comfortable when I was twice the size I am now . . .

. . . but there's no way it's of any use now.  Matt had to cut it in two to get it out.

It was a spa bath and this is the tangle of pipes underneath.  Would it qualify for 'A Curving Path', Eileen?  A water path?  :-)














I have no idea what's on the bathroom schedule for today except to finish getting the tiles off but I bet it will be noisy!  And yes, Matt did have a radio going but it was normal volume and not intrusive.

Today is rather more complicated.  At ten, the lovely Sharon is coming to do our hair - that's mine and Beth's.  It's going to be - er - fun getting my hair damp and Beth is having a more complicated things done and will need to wash her hair in the kitchen sink - twice, I think.  It sounds very olden days-ish, doesn't it? 

I can't get to the pool today so will have what Mum used to call an 'all over flannel wash'.  Tomorrow morning will see me setting out for the gym as soon as Matt arrives!

This afternoon I have someone coming to look at the garden with a view to doing a bit of maintainence now and again.  Lazy me, I know, but it's just the same as having help inside the house really and, if it goes ahead, will be supporting a small local business which is something I like to do.

I've also got to write a reference for someone and drop it round to their home.  Well, I haven't GOT to but I have said I will.

Later on there's tuition and then SW group.  I'm nervous about that - I really don't know how it's gone this week, especially after a gain last week when I genuinely expected a loss.

I'd better get on with stuff as there's a lot to do in the kitchen before Sharon arrives and anyway, Matt is knocking on the door bang on eight o'clock.  Stay dry today and have a good-un!  xx
