Lazy Shula

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.

New Bed

The bedroom decoration is fine.  The new furniture all in place, the dogs love the bed.

Hugh's birthday party

I can not believe the time has gone so fast.  Our friend Hugh's 60 birthday party.  We have been friends now for 42 years.  Not constant, losing touch over the years but coming together like we never lost touch.  Really lovely party meeting up with people from the past.

Dads cherry tree

Back in th UK eating cherries off the tree my dad bought me 40 years ago.  The tree is way past its best but as dad died in 2000 I can't bring myself to cut it down.  Usually the birds have eaten all the fruit by this time so I will monitor the garden birds to see if we still have the numbers.

The dogs were collected Thursday evening and were due to arrive this evening.  Due to bad weather in France they are delayed so will have to wait up until they are delivered.  I hate having to put them through this but hopefully we will have a lovely summer and they will forget the journey.
