YAWN, YAWN, WAKEY, WAKEY - 2021

I've been out Woo.....but not a particularly enjoyable experience.

 

I know Woo ,I'm feeling warmer just think about our high of 12C. Heaven help them if the forecasters change it to a lower one .....

 

Good morning everyone....we have a mld day....and I'll whisper it for fear of jinxing things....a dry one too!!

Hope that all your days are in improvement mode too.

Should be a much more pleasant gardening experience today, looking forward to getting out there.

 

Good evening everyone

That's a lovely summer photo @Upsydaisy I hope the weather stayed mild for you today

A bit disappointing for me, the window and door for my new little extension were supposed to be installed today but there's a delay and now it won't be until 13th December. Never mind, it's less than a fortnight so not too bad,
and moaning about it won't make them come any faster

 

Good evening Michael

Thank you, yes it was such a dreary looking morning when I posted that I felt it would be good to remind ourselves of what we can look forward to and our reward for all our planning and hard work.

The only good thing about today's weather was it's mildness, but oh so dark!!

Couldn't post a drab ,miserable and dreary pic really could I . To be honest I couldn't find one dreary enough!!

That's a real shame about the delay in the door and window installation, was the delay in receiving them or maybe lack of manpower?

 

Apparently it was because I wanted rosewood on the outside and white on the inside -
too fussy ... the 'all white' ones had been delivered.
I always feel white on the outside looks cold and plasticky and goes green quickly, and brown inside would make the place dark.

 

Yes I can see what you mean Michael, we have natural coloured wooden doors but with a fair amount of glass in them so no problem with the issue of darkness.
I bet you can't wait to get it all finish with now get back to 'normal ' life.l

 

I never knew that you could ask for different colours inside and out !!.
This GC forum certainly expands the mind

 

Thank you @Upsydaisy, There's a bit of work to do inside, like connecting the electricity etc but yes it will be nice to have it done and out of the way.

I like to have doors with lots of glass in them. Your house must be lovely and light .

 

Yes, I have them in all the front windows and door.

 

Let the countdown begin




Good morning everyone.....it's creeping up on us!!

Still a tad too dark out there to determine what our forecast is really up to but it's still mild.....that's the most important bit!

Keep safe and have a good day.

 

Morning Michael. It sounds like you're well and truly on the home run .You won't know yourself when you wake up to a builder free day!

Sadly our house isn't as light as we would wish but we've tried to make the best of what we have. Too many trees with TPOs around us and position of the house don't help at all.

 

Trees are all right as long as they are not too close to the house. I moved because of tall trees casting a deep shade over the house and garden, and every sunny summer day felt cold and dismal.

Good afternoon everyone ... keep warm !
