Rufus comes to Granny's house..... again

Rufus and his mum are staying for a few days.  We had a lovely day - been shopping, out for lunch, walk in  the sunshine, to the swings.  Mummy and Aunty Rachel are out for the evening - cinema and dinner. We got to do tea/bath and bedtime, its went like a dream, tea eaten well, bathtime fun, and into bed, can't believe it went so well especially as I had to give him a bottle, maybe the fact that he didn't sleep too much during the day, but no grizzles, so I'm really chuffed.

we cleaned the floor

he even got to beat Pops up

Garden Room - glass is in!

Photos tomorrow.  So pleased with it all, now its all down to us.

Update - Garden room and on my needles

No glass delivered yesterday. 
Odd jobs done. 
Bit more staining also done.

Work progresses slowly on the ten-stitch blanket, its getting heavy and makes my wrists ache so to relieve the pressure I am knitting up at Short Row Scarf its a free Lion Brand pattern and I'm using Sirdar Supersoft aran in a soft sage green, as usual photos when I'm finished

Thursday pm - no glass delivered today, so not looking like Neil will finish tomorrow )-:

Welcome, welcome

I'm so pleased........ jumps up and down in excitment!

I see I have picked up 3 new followers in the last week.  Welcome to you all. I have had a quick look at your blogs and see that we are 'like minded' if not 'like aged'.  I hope you enjoy my posts. I try to make them as varied as I can and provide something for everyone.  I look forward to reading your comments, please everyone comment then I'll know if you like something or not..

So tell your friends about it, I'd love more followers

Garden Room - Day 15

Swept up and tidy -  just a couple of odd jobs and the glass to do then Neil will be finished. The glass should be delivered either tomorrow or Thursday, so by the end of the week we will be watertight. 

The guttering was delivered today, job for the weekend? 

All the internal walls need to be swept then measured up for the insulation materials.  Next job after that is to paint the ceiling and all the internal beams.  The internal lights we ordered at the weekend are out of stock for 2 weeks, typical, not that we need them yet but thats besides the point.

The progress reports will slow down now as work can only be completed in our spare time.  There is no point in trying to set a deadline for use because that will only end in disappointment............

Garden Room - Day 14

Repairs to the old doors, not that you can see too much on this side, lots of bits replaced on the rear of the doors.  Audrey will no longer be able to go through the bottom of the door, so we have had a proper cat-flap added to the new stable door just for her

I finished off the ten stitch blanket from January and then knitted 2 Bunny blanket buddies, a jumper - new born size, and started another ten stitch. I only fell off the wagon once this month with the purchase of 250 grams of Sirdar Snuggly which was a bargain from the charity shop. Currently knitting a matching hat to go with the jumper, then its back to the ten-stitch
