Day Thirty-Three

~ Bungalow Blogger ~ 2 Comments

We have skeleton rooms now, it is brilliant to see the space divided up and the zones making sense.  The two front rooms are a good size and the bathroom seems tiny.  I’ve been in with my measuring tape making sure I can fit my wider bath in.   I can.  We need to think about where to put the sink though to allow for a rather bright mirror my husband spotted when we were looking for bathrooms.  Looking good eh?

These two cabinets have been upstairs and moved about the whole time the upstairs has been getting done.  They originally fitted in the space where the little toilet was, before it was installed.  They sit one on top of the other and I have them earmarked to go in the front room eventually.  I need to clean them up and they will get painted white.  Once we have some room somewhere they will finally make it down the stairs.  Nobody knows how they ever got up the old stairs in the first place.  A mystery.

H has these permanently on her head ready for Comic Relief, funny how quickly you get used to something daft like these! RND_Boppers_140_v1_m56577569834367805Her other excitement is having 7 newborn chicks in her classroom.  She is at the back so she is keeping a good eye on them.  I was introduced to them after school today, very cute indeed.

The boys are loving playing Minecraft with pals online. Wish I understood why it is so exciting or is the whole idea that I don’t get it I wonder…

Tulips

My pretty tulips for Mothers’ Day.  Mother’s Day is bittersweet for me since losing my Mum.  The excessive marketing that goes with it is quite overwhelming at times.  I wish the marketeers would consider those of who have lost our Mums and those who long to be one.

We have a stair space, it appeared while I was at work. The ensuite as we knew it has gone too and the new one looks a great size and shape. I’m glad I missed the actual demolition of the wall and old entrance to the bathroom, bet it was pretty messy judging by the settling dust.  All the mess has gone but we all know that dust takes a while to settle, literally.

Saturday was really wet in the morning.  It got better though and by mid afternoon we took the bold step of opening the garden room door which can only mean one thing… spring.  Check out those tulips for evidence of spring.

Unfortunately, in true Edinburgh fashion, spring did not last long. It snowed a bit yesterday and lots today so it’s back to this. The garden door is well and truly bolted again til the next sunny day.

Buddy, the P1A class teddy, had a good weekend, we didn’t match Tom Daley but he did go to the rugby.

The girls made use of the boardwalk in the hall too with an indoor hopscotch competition.

It’s due to be supercold overnight tonight, hot water bottles and beanies at the ready since we have two big holes in the front and back of the house.  Lucky we have lots of downies and blankets too, we’ll be fine.
