Testing The DIY Skills........

 
Lovely visit Sunday from Son, fiancé and their little dog. They brought Hubby his birthday present and cake plus two roses from their garden and planted them in our raised rose bed. Looking forward to seeing how many will survive and bloom.

Daughter invited us over for pancake brunch on Tuesday. O said he was dressed for the occasion with pancake coloured trousers, his shirt was the cream and hair like the raspberry sauce. 

The two glass jugs had been made by E when she was glass blowing. 

After we'd eaten O cast all the short films he'd made onto the TV. He has a great vision of what he wants to achieve and a great sense of humour. He is also incredibly critical of his own work. 

Another power saving hour Tuesday evening. Hubby was told the two we had taken part in last week had earned us £3.90, not a lot but no real inconvenience to us and hopefully takes some pressure off the grid. 

The new shower was delivered and swapped for the wrong one they delivered last week. Hubby took it apart and fiddled inside, looking like he knew exactly what he's doing. He needs to change this wired model to be a remote controlled model like the broken one. I'm always amazed at his DIY skills. 

First attempt gave him a very soggy loft. He can see where it's leaking from inside the box! He emailed the company again and a back and forth conversation and sending photos and a video resulted in them advising contacting the maker to hopefully send an engineer! They are coming next week. 

And now the bathroom light has a problem which needs more than a new light bulb! Always something eh? 

When the dog is here I fold an old quilt in four as a bed when she joins us in the dining room. It's a bit of a tight fit in the washing machine so I made a cover for it that can slip off and be washed and dried much easier. Reused fabric that once was a single duvet cover. 

She was here all day Friday with me while everyone else was out and she liked her covered bed. 

Till next week then, have a good weekend.
