To be fit for the job

When you do this dozens of times a day, and for days and days, you become quite more flexible and achy. 

I have never felt more tired, fit and satisfied. 

We have had some help this weekend. 

Thanks a million! 

This means less bends and stretches for us!

A clean space

R has done a magnificent job with the kitchen floor.

I have been painting inside the larder today.

We finally feel we are in a clean space. 

But it has taken so many hours!

Now I go to sleep

Any plans for this weekend?

Photos

Some days I am just plain tired and cannot seem to do much work on the house. 

And so, I potter around and take photos.

Kitchen

The kitchen is coming along. 

Many hours of hard work cleaning decades of dirt and making it look decent through coats of paint and new lino floor - all temporary until we can get a brand new kitchen. 

Ideas

Reading, looking at photos, getting ideas.

Endless lists of things to do.

Daydreaming, imagination running wild.

Notebooks to download my brain and remember what needs to be done.

Flower power

We have a garden full of a varied selection of flowers and plants.

My problem? I am clueless in this area. I can identify the basics of the basics, but that is about it.

Need help. Need helpers. 

Should be fun to have friends round this summer doing gardening and enjoying what I can't right now out of ignorance. 

I can provide tools, drinks and food.

And gratitude.

Surprise

This is the exciting discovery I was talking about a few days ago. 

Laminate wooden floor under the dirty, grim and bland carpet. 

It makes a big difference!

I like the way the light reflects and makes the room brighter.

This place is full of possibilities. 

And I love that.
