It was Fergus’ 23rd birthday this week and he had an important gig in Glasgow but I missed both. It felt a bit weird not to be with him on his birthday for the first time and I did not make a Dalek shaped chocolate cake. At least he got to to spend time with his sisters - they are all so close at the moment which is lovely.
At work I finished a couple more customer quilts that will go to their recipients by Christmas.
Speaking of Christmas, I had a long weekend and did some festive shopping at last. I did rather well in the Oxfam bookshop and the local health-food store but I have not completed my mission and I forgot to buy stamps.
I went to retrieve some tartan blankets from the storage barn, where to my dismay, everything was damp and mousey. I must get it all shifted in the New Year before everything gets totally ruined.
On the DIY front, I put some shelves up and they are relatively straight. Considering that I did not have a spare pair of hands or a spirit level, I will take that as a success.
I am happy to report that all painting jobs are now complete as I tackled the bathroom and lobby. They were not very big but a bit mouldy and the old paint did not want to be covered up. There will be NO more painting unless I have to do touching up or damp patches reappear. I was very grateful to get help from a work friend fetching a guest bed from Facebook Marketplace. Now I have somewhere for visitors to stay so my chums can book themselves in for a visit to Devon:)
