A Mini Drama

“Real adventure is defined best as a journey from which you may not come back alive, and certainly not as the same person.” – Yvon Chouinard

I just caught the last little bit of "Sounds of the 60s".

 

 Bacon & Black pudding sandwich↑

Out on a road trip to Kidderminister....

Found the cattle market↓

 

 

 Brinton's Carpets HQ↑

 I was given a leaflet about Brexit

Now to get some bargains..↓

Pity they didn't have my size↑

Nice hand bag↑

Nice big bottle of Zoflora! 

Nipped into Dunelm↓

 

 We had a coffee and sandwich at Morrisons↓

 We went too the Range.When we got there, we saw two people trying to get a large picture and a ironing board in a Mini. The passenger was squashed in the front seat afterwards...↑↑↑
We got the paint to update our kid's bedrooms.

 Then we had a Boost↓

 We had to have another trolley, as the first trolley was rammed with bargains.

We popped into see my Father-in-law.
He was amazed on how many bargains we got...
He replied:
"I didn't know there was ANY bargains in Kidderminster!" 
Now back on the road ....
Home Time....
Birthday Time.

We were all so tired when we got home...

Pimp It Up!

A little bit of a lie in was due....

Once I got up, it was time to add the pinny..

I had some serious tidying up to do.

Dining room to do.

Coats in the hallway to sort out.

Then my mate came out for a play...

 (Not before having a cup of special coffee)

My new door mat arrived!↓

And my Meerkat dressed as Obi Wan↓

Now to pimp up my 1950's kitchen cabinet...↓

 with some filler↓

It's a good job, I put down some newspaper before I started to paint it!↓

Rub It In....

No chance of lie in today.

I took my dad to the Hospital,

While he was being seen...

I enjoyed coffee

Then off to have a catch up chat,

With some old friends...

More coffee...

My paint arrived for the 1950's cabinet...

 Now pass me over the babyoil,

Going to have a rub down by my hubby...

 

Caught red-handed

When I was very young,

I was bit of a...

 I was about five years old...

My dad was painting with white paint.

He was painting the garage door.

I kept dipping my finger in the paint,

Then adding a finger mark to the wall of the garage.

After a while, after being watched by my mum.

They found out where I had been putting those paint marks....

I was told off..

However after 39 years, they are still there...

 

Stirring The Paint For Tomorrow!

The painting of the door arches starts tomorrow.

It will take 7 hours to dry fully.

So hopefully no paint marks on school uniform or anywhere else!

After painting, a bit of baking and a nice work out.

What could go wrong?

Time For A Face-Lift...

Time to spruce up the house a bit.

The grout around the tiles in the bathroom needs updating

The door arches need repainting

The kitchen & dining room door need painting

Even the front lawn needs mowing again.

Better not start painting this afternoon

As the paint will start to appear when it's not supposed too.

On Uniforms, clothes, & other parts of the house

Thursday & Friday next week for painting.

Now for a bit of grouting.......lovely!
