Just as well I like moving things around...a lot!
It is nice and sunny in the front room now that mid year is only a few weeks away. The sun comes in from 5 am..ish to after 3pm...ish, so it is very bright indeed!
Imre should only take a few days to complete the middle room, then he'll put in the power and sort out the kitchen plumbing again. It is all there from when the bathroom was there before I moved it into the kitchen!
Then when all the painting, plumbing and electricity is completed, he'll lay the floor in there and when it's dry, I'll move back into the new kitchen and dining room.
Still will have to have a custom made kitchen, but that's no problem and will take about 6-8 weeks the guy said. He has to come back and remeasure again after all the walls etc are completed, as there is not one straight line, wall or one 90 degree angle anywhere in this place at all!

| The first rose of Summer! |
 |
| Sun coming up just after 5am here. Wondered if it would be a clear day when I peeped out! |
 |
| Yup, those cherry blossoms you saw from 1-10 April are now cherries on 16th May! Amazing how fast they grow and ripen. |
 |
| Poppy time again as I do my rounds on the morning jog! Even in the middle of moving, there is always space for a vase of fresh flowers...well, a jar today, as I packed away almost everything else! |
 |
| This is my accidental rambling rose! I thought I bought a proper rose and it seems the stock root grew, but the rose graft did not! hahaha, Shopping is like a box of chocolates...you never know what you'll get over here! |

| This one grew as the label showed in the picture! |
Temp inside now is 23C, outside a bit warmer...hot in the sun, but pleasant.
We have had 3 nice sunny days in a row after a couple of rainy, cloudy and grey sky months.
Hopefully that has passed and it will be nice now.
My vegie garden is bare this year as Bear is still a puppy and just has to chew everything...all the time!
I buy him lots of bones, chicken carcasses to chomp on, plus he has his doggy toys, 4 old shoes, a couple of squares of cut off foam, plus 34 rocks he retrieves from the rock pile and countless bits of wood, weeds and dead twigs!
He is a cutie though. I'll miss him when he goes in a few weeks time, but animals were not on my radar for here. Too much trouble when I travel. Dog has gone and soon Bear will go to live with his Mum along with 5 other female dogs.
The guy who took Dog, said she is the Queen of the 6 dogs he has now and she lays her head on his thigh when he is playing his video games. She sleeps on his couch inside and is loving it!
OK...am off to finish this moving thing - again - and next week, it will be a very different story from inside the Little Lodge of Many Wonders!
Maybe a sneak peek?
Bye, do take care,
Cheers,
M

Love the Roses, even the rambling one. Our roses are now coming out though the rain we've had all week here has left them looking a bit battered but they should pick up quickly.
ReplyDeleteWill be good when we can sit outside & enjoy them & there scent.
How fab to see your own cherries, looking very tasty too.
You'll find it very strange once Bear has gone to new mum but at least you'll be able to get on & know nothing will be chewed or knocked down/over ;-).
Take care.
Karen.
Hi Karen...the cherries are from a neighbour. Mine are the later variety worse luck!
ReplyDeleteIf I had a smaller garden you'd be able to smell the fragrance in the cool of the evening...but here the drafts whirl everything away into the millions of miles of plains around us!
Coming to London in Sept to collect a friend, tour, go to see Phantom at West End etc, before heading off to Amsterdam, Prague and here. Will go earlier and see you and Caroline in Wales first. My friend contacted me a few days ago re coming, so.. as I was going over to do the narrow boat thing, I put together a schedule for her. But the boat trip will go on the back burner for this year as we'll cross from UK to Amsterdam via a ferry and treat ourselves to a poshy cabin, with free mini bar etc. Narrow boat to a virtual cruise ship?...My thought waves must have got crossed a tad! More details later when dates are confirmed. Excited to finally meet you all over there. xxx
