Hunting High & Low

Sometimes, the best way to help someone is just to be near them - Veronica Roth

We finally reached Tuesday.

I enjoyed a much needed tea in bed 🛏

I gave hubby a big sloppy 💋 before he left the house.

I meanwhile was on the hunt for that yellow paint....

I moved the unit out of the way

 Not there....:(

Hunted High and low....

I didn't find it :(

I did find the new handles I bought for my unit I bought 2 years ago \o/

Once I have finished adding a second coat of paint to it, the handles will be added.

What it looked like before I repainted it↓

 Before I got dressed....

The first coffee of the day...↓

 Now to have a little ride in Sexy Beast

 It might be warm,

No big big sunglasses needed today

 Lets have a look in here↓

So much to choose from↓

 

 That's me sorted↓

 Nipped into Asda.

Found a 60s CD I haven't got.

My kids will love listening to it ;)

 My favourite kitchen cleaner was only £2 \o/

 Bumped into a friend on the way out.

Found out why the Head Teacher & Deputy Head of my son's old middle school was suddenly dismissed from their jobs, 3 weeks from the end of term.

 Is rain coming??

 

 Munch munch on some crumpets↓

 I got changed.

The heavens opened,

Rain ahead⛆

 Now to repaint our bedroom door↓

 I left the door to dry...

Now to paint the Dining Room door↓

 Leaving it to dry,

Lunch time↓

 The kids went to an event at the library.

I went to work in the rain.

One of my co-workers said one of the other workers had a baby a week ago.

I replied,"Really? He wasn't showing!"

Mute silence after I said that.

I left in the rain.

I have the Plumber coming to service the boiler tomorrow.

I hope he dont mind the smell of paint....

After tea, I caught up with one of my favourite tv shows..

It stopped raining when I went to my other job with some good music↓

 When I got back home,

I needed to go to bed....

I am hoping for a sunny hump 🐪 day .

As the washing machine needs to go on.....

 There was a lovely smell of white spirit coming from the back garden...

Hubby said he knocked over the jar of paint brushes with the white spirit.

I told him to wash it away.....!

While hubby goes to do a tip run.

I put all my teapots back on the shelf↓

 The unit I painted up

Now contains all my cook books in the Dining Room.

While we had a light lunch↓

 We watched Louis Theroux's Weird Weekend.

"Demolition Derby"

 Louis has to overcome his nerves to enter a demolition derby in car-mad Michigan.

 Now to sort out the kitchen.

Got everything off the surfaces.

Done a check pattern with the tiles.

Ordered a new net curtain to match the black & white theme of the kitchen.

Filled up the new cupboard..

Hubby was trying to sort out one of our son's bedroom....

After our tea,

The kids disappeared upstairs,

We watched more Louis...

First up was "Infomercials"
Louis attempts to become a presenter on Florida's Home Shopping Network TV channel and meets Anthony Sullivan and Billy Mays. He also meets people who invent, sell and make a fortune from products such as the Win Gym.

 then↓

 "Swingers"

 Louis meets a couple from Southern California who host swinging parties. He visits one of these to find out what drives couples to want to swap partners. This programme also offers a brief look into other kinds of swinging through an organisation that has a database of members that are rated on a scale of 1 to 10. Under this system, people rated highly are invited to exclusive parties intended to keep out unattractive, socially awkward, or otherwise undesirable people.

 Wow after watching that!

I'm back on the small Wobbly Work Wheel tomorrow...🎡
