Good friends

Miss you lots, will be back in Spain next week.  So glad you are all enjoying yourselves.

Me

My cousin Alvina sent this photo of me.  It was always on display in their house when she was growing up, her cousin Georgina.  My uncle was a really lovely bloke, trying to keep a family thing going in a family who had fallen apart.  There are not too many of us left from that generation.  I talk regularly with two of my cousins and hear about the rest.  Oh for families, we were so close when I was young.  I think life and distance separated us, sad.  I have my two cousins which I am thankful for, hopefully we will keep our family alive.

Problem

Found a problem with one of the TV cabinets we ordered from Oak Furnitureland.  Because we had so much stuff delivered we missed the damage on this cabinet.  Even though it is more than a week since it was delivered I rang them and they were very helpful.  I sent photos and was offered either a discount or a replacement.  I chose a replacement which will arrive next Wednesday.  Both people I spoke to were very nice and polite and very efficient, I can't complain about the service.  The rest of the furnished is fine and I am very happy with it.

Dogs relaxing

Shula and Sky are a bit fed up with all the work in the house.  Dave the guy from the flooring company is here laying the new tiles on the kitchen floor.  Big problem with the kicking boards which cracked when they were removed.  We have decided on new boards covered with the floor tiles.  The job will look good when finished.

Slowly getting there

The house is slowly coming together.  The bedroom and ensuite are finished apart from the blinds.

The lounge and dining room are almost there, just need a new rug, blinds and some soft furnishing.  Once all the pictures are hung and ornaments in place it will look like home.
