Domestic stuff

It’s been a very normal last few weeks. My energy levels are improving, I’m doing longer hours at work, and I’m having fewer medical appointments.

Speaking of which, I do have a scan bioked for Wednesday, but it’s in Thames, so a 3 hour round trip rather than 3 hours one way, so that’s good too. There will be another oncologist appointment sometime after that but I don’t have the date for that yet. I’m hoping that might also be in Thames this time. We’ll see.

In the meantime I’ve been doing some spinning in the hope of having a dyeing day (that’s dyeing with an e) in a few weeks. I’ve done some thin yarn, niw I want to do some skeins of thicker yarn.

My husband, though, has been busy at work on the laundry and outside. Here are a few photos of his progress.

Destroying the old hot water cupboard to make more room in the laundry
Putting on the framing for the wall
The wall is up and lined, it’ll be stopped and painted later
Rubble in the alcove of the toilet room, ready for conversion into a broom cupboard
The new broom closet is cut into the wall to the left of the laundry
The broom closet door from the inside,  with tiles cut away
New wall between toilet and broom closet taking shape
The glasshouse with all intact glass panes in place (over half were already broken before the move)
Glasshouse steps taking shape, first plants inside and a new Meyer lemon planted outside to the left
The new washing line with planning for the cobbled space beneath still in planning

As you can see there’s plenty still to do, but he’s getting a lot done.

      Thanks for the invite but so far as I know, all the groups in town meet during my work hours. To be honest, even if there was an evening group I probably wouldn’t come right now; between my energy levels and managing the kids my evenings are best spent at home. Now if there was something on the weekend I might come along now and then, but people are usually doing other things, and often enough so am I 🙂
      I am definitely blessed with a capable man, though, no question.
