Upgrading The Bedroom Manual

A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it - Jean de La Fontaine

Welcome to my Monday!

Back on the small wobbly work wheel 🎡

I enjoyed a hug and tea in bed!

 I gave hubby a big sloppy 💋 before he left the house.
I got dressed and out for a ride in Sexy Beast.

 It's getting warm↗↗↗

Some interesting Birthdays↓

 Billy J Kramer 76 years old 🎈

Ginger Baker, drummer of Cream is 80 years old 🎈

I see two of my jobs features in the I on Serving the Public...↓

Back home..

 Just misses out on getting wet.
Before I start painting.
Early lunch is needed↓

 I get changed..
Paint time!

I got the shelves and bathroom cabinet painted.
I gets changed to go to the happy place of work. 

I mentioned I was going to Self Defence tonight to a co-worker.
He looked at me.
I said."I tried a move on my hubby after I told him to grab me.
In future, he will only grab me in the dark in bed after that!"
I got laughter after I said that! 
I gets back to do a Meat Free Stir Fry ↓

 I get changed to go to my Self Defence Class.
On the way there, nearly had accident with a white BMW. Followed by a silver Range Rover pulling out in front of me. I used my hand on the horn for a good 3 minutes!
We were learning some new moves.
The Instructer said to me:
"Are you going to try these moves on your husband?"
I laughed, "Later on, I will add to our Fore-play!".
Two ladies over 55 years, started being a bit of prude,
"You can't say that!"
Oh dear....hehehehe
I gets back home early to do my final job of the day.
With some good music!

 I gets back to darkness and big black clouds↓

Hopped off the Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡
I watched one episode of Law and Order:

Now to try some moves on Hubby...

 

  

Chained To The Paint Pot!

I always start writing with a clean piece of paper and a dirty mind - Patrick Dennis

It was nice to have a bit of lie-in.

Nice snuggle and 💋💋 too.

Enjoyed a nice cup of tea..

 Checked on my supply of earplugs↓

 I had coffee while I got dressed↓

 Once I put the masking tape down, where I was going to paint..

 I opened the white can of paint.

I finished painting around the edges of the Airing cupboard.

 Enjoyed a coffee outside.

No sign of rain yet!

 Light lunch time↓

 I finished painting the skirting boards and door arches, upstairs and downstairs.

I ordered some radiator paint,

As all the radiators in the house need repainting.

Another job that will need doing,

Is to repaint the wood holding the bannisters on up the stairs, and the wood by the stairs.

Changing from red to ?

After all this painting.

I needed some fresh air and some vitamin D

 

 The lawn is looking nice after being mowed yesterday↓

 We had Salmon Wellington for tea↓

 We caught up with this week's episode of Dragon's Den

 Dragons' Den is back in business as crafting multimillionaire Sara Davies takes her seat as a new Dragon alongside Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman and Tej Lalvani.

Tonight a pair of porridge entrepreneurs invite the Dragons to a teddy bears' picnic with a breakfast twist. Academic traditions are turned on their head by two graduates who are determined to disrupt a very established marketplace. An Irish inventor whose dad helped create his dream product hopes to add a new power player to the family business. And things in hot up in the Den when the Dragons meet an entrepreneur who believes the best way to drop a few inches is to wear an extra layer.

*It's Billy's J Kramer's 76th Birthday tomorrow*

(One of his hits is at the end of this blog post) 

The doors of the Airing Cupboard look nice now :)

 

 To get in the mood to mount that Wobbly Work Wheel 🎡. tomorrow↓

Interior Design Masters

Ten aspiring interior designers on the cusp of turning professional are taking part in the biggest design challenge of their lives. Arriving at a design studio in east London, they nervously meet each other for the first time, before being welcomed by series presenter Fearne Cotton.

Dragons’ Den

Is

 back for its seventeenth series, and a there is a new fire breather in town. Crafting queen Sara Davies, the youngest ever Dragon, joins titans of industry Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman and Tej Lalvani in a den that is hotter than ever. 

In this fierce first episode, a spiced rum entrepreneur gets the party started by giving the den a rock 'n' roll makeover. A husband and wife team bring along a four-legged friend to help them achieve their ambition for their pet food business. And a toilet gadget inventor hopes to get investment by talking dirty to the Dragons.

  I even got tickets to Grand Designs Live at the Nec in Birmingham for October at a bargain price \o/.

Nice to have a early night in bed 🛏
