Come fly with me ......

So - after a wash out of a day yesterday I woke up feeling much better - so good that I had to force myself not to go out too early - the shops I needed would be shut!  The trouble with these headaches is that you have a day like I did yesterday and you think its all coming back rather than just thinking - "its a bad headache today".

First on the round trip was the Louth Recycling centre.  It really is so much more than a tip with around 20 different containers waiting for your separated items.  First up was the microwave oven - it was rusty inside which, apparently, can be dangerous.  Next was a basket of electrical goods that came out of the kitchen cupboards missing bits and bobs.  Finally - and boy did I struggle to get it in the car - was the hall carpet.  Fortunately some kind man helped me get it out of the car and into the container  (well actually he did most of it himself!)



Next was B & Q for some more paint - its the woodwork paint (quick drying satinwood) and I seemed to have picked a colour that no one has any more than one or two tins - crazy!  I was, however, tempted by this blue and silver lamp in the clearance section - should go well in the newly refurbed hall.  I also noticed that they are reducing the garden furniture so might investigate further tomorrow when I go to the larger store at Grimsby.  Whilst there I started to look for possible garden design ideas - this time next year the garden will look like someone really cares for it - you've heard it here first!!















Whilst nipping around Louth (yes more Annie Sloan paint - this time for the stairs (after the holiday though!) ) I bumped into Pat - remember the Apron yesterday?  She is so pleased with the apron - it will be great to spend more time with her and see the finished product in the flesh but I was in a rush today.  I also picked up a couple of quilting magazines for the journey and the freebie EPP papers has given me an idea for a cupboard runner in the hall.  The plan is to take the fabric on holiday with me and see if I can find time to sew any - I quite fancy sitting by the side of Lake Garda sewing!


On my way home I popped into my local garage to see Tony.  When I have had the car serviced in the past I have never asked him to stamp the service book - he kindly filled it all in for me so that the exchange can go a little more smoothly.  He has also produced a summary printout of all the services that I have had with him - job ticked off!

Once home it was the second coat of the cupboard to paint before finishing washing the kitchen units down - I really think that you can take this minimalism too far!!  I also came across a Bee struggling to move.  Quick as a flash I mixed up a sugary syrup and gave it to him whilst taking the dogs out of the way.  When I returned the bee was dead - my cooking must REALLY be bad!

So - why the title today you might ask?  Tonight on BBC4 at 10:15pm they are showing a late night Prom featuring the John Wilson Orchestra playing Frank Sinatra music and with Seth Macfarlane leading the singing.  I've been looking forward to this ever since I saw the list of the proms!

Tomorrow - please say after me "Lynda - focus on your holiday - what do you need?"  Somehow the house is becoming all consuming and other things have gone unattended.  I have a luggage scale, for example, that needs a new battery but I cant find my mini screwdrivers let alone know whether I've got a battery to fit it.  Oh the trials!  However my BA app tells me that check-in opens in 2 days and 2 hours - oops!.
