Fence finished, all 50ft done ✅ Absolutely shattered. Need to do the gate tomorrow and give the drive a good sweep, although it could do with jet washing- I’ve opened a right Pandora’s box here. A neighbour commented how good it looks. Hopefully the paint won’t wash off when it rains 😆

The photo you posted of the log burner fire place was nice. It looks a lot more smaller than your current one so wouldn't take up so much room.Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

I haven't had a fireplace in any home since 2009 , but I do miss having a focal point . The fireplace you had in the photo looks really nice . Well done on all the fence painting 50 ft is quite a long way. Your house must stand on a quite large plot , you have a long drive and then a long garden , it sounds ideal.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.5

Not ideal maintenance wise though. It takes some looking after, it’s hard work.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Happy Thursday, wow this week is flying by!
Up early as the dog buried a chewy bone in the bed which I removed so she’s been up since 5.30 looking for a new hiding place. As the new place is the cat’s bed, she’s guarding it from the cat 🙄
Have loads to do today:
Book train tickets for tomorrow
Go to Aldi
Paint the garden gate
Really must clean the whole house as it’s been neglected this week
Finish weeding the patch I started yesterday
Really should look at finances
Starting to put things back in the spare room will have to wait until another day. At least it’ll give the paint plenty of time to dry.
Mr SA has identified a fence in the back garden that needs painting, thanks for that 😐
