More work for me to do in the back garden!

Hubby makes 2 trips to the Household Waste Site to get rid of the old Fridge, Freezer and empty gas bottles.

I meanwhile repainting the kitchen/bathroom walls and windows.

Coffee time with a nibble time.

More painting to do.

The neighbour was having a good eyeful when I was on the step-ladder trying to paint the top of the Dining Room window.

The Step-ladder nearly tipped off when I tried to reach a bit higher than I should have.

The Plumber arrived to disconnect the applications in the kitchen.

I got down to have a yak with him.

All was disconnected and put outside.

Someone from the flats opposite wanted the Tumble Drier.

They took it away...

Then later on someone, took everything else away for free \o/.

The kitchen looks well empty now!

Time for another drink and nibble!

Found the instructions for the missing items that belonged in the kitchen↓↓

Finished painting the back door.

Coming back tomorrow to add the second coat on the walls and window frames and door.

It was getting well warm when we left.

I bet some neighbours are banging their gums at seeing the above left on the pavement!

Back home.

Nice cold drink is needed!

Tea time.

We caught up with four episodes of "Top of the Pops" from 1993.

Oh dear, that fast forward button was used a lot!

Next up was a great episode of "Blankety Blank" which was repeated last week.

(It was first shown in 1979)

I'm glad my gloves were dry over night.

As it was freezing.

Two winter hats, gloves, and coat done right up.

Puts on my lights,

Now let's go to work!

While I am stood there,

2 tanks went past.

(I call them tanks, as they just about clean their windscreen to peer through the gap they just cleaned!)

Traffic was building up on my side.

I had at least two cars stop in the Keep Clear area, and I have to walk behind them to cross people over!

I was glad to finish in one piece.

I picked up the newspaper on the way home.

Put's on the coffee machine.

Second door on the Advent Calender is:

I said goodbye to them.

Now for the fun to start.
