Things can only get better

Happy Friday SA. I have so many books knocking around that I haven’t got to yet and yet I’m rereading a complete series I’ve read before. It’s nice to already know they are good and that I enjoy them as first reads of something are a little bit of a gamble, even with the reviews…and of course if I find a wonderful author I feel compelled to go find everything they’ve written before 😬 I have never read I Capture the Castle and I think it’s something of a classic now. I will wait for your review.

The painter has finished. He's coming back to paint the hall/stairs/landing next month. He's done a great job, I'm really pleased with it. Will start moving the furniture back in there tomorrow, give the paint time to dry overnight. DS is coming tomorrow so he can put the TV back up on the wall and the curtain pole back up. Might have to put the old curtains up until I get some new ones. I've looked at several online sites and can't find the right curtain colour, I want them to match the feature wall ideally. 

Have ordered Mr SA's armchair, it's being delivered next week. Went through TCB so got a small percentage cash back.

I'm feeling a bit more normal today, almost caught up on sleep now.

Just been catching up on this.  Sorry to hear about your husband but glad it's sorted.  Had an uncle(who for all intent in purpose was my father) who had gotten to that stage, not able on his feet and no way for anybody to lift him when he got stuck in dangerous positions!!!

Fab news that the painting is done.

Exciting news that you can start reassembling your living room 😀

Good to hear the painting has been such a success.

I enjoyed 'I capture the Castle', hope you do too.

DS and the GKs arriving soon. DS was going to put the curtain pole back up for us but we have hit a snag - can’t find the brackets. I put them on the dining room table with the finials and they’ve disappeared 😫 Hunted around everywhere and finally found one in Mr SA’s drawer from hell. Where the other two are goodness knows, he can’t remember what he’s done with them.

Glad the decorating has been done and you can get the room back together

I hope you find the brackets - what a nuisance!

I found the other brackets thank goodness. Mr SA remembered where they were. Very annoying that he moved them from where I put them. 

DIL took me to B&M 😍 To be honest got more stuff for the garden than the living room but I did get cushions and a throw. Still need to find some curtains, the old ones are back up temporarily. We are back in the living room anyway thank goodness.

Sat in my hanging chair for a bit reading my book.

Boring for me tonight as Mr SA is watching football 👎

Can hear Download Festival from my back garden.
