After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this
Oh wow, very classy freddie and it's looks fab. Love the colours all round. You must be thrilled now it's all but finished.
Amber, good you are calling in - keep thinking nice things and put the disappointment behind you. You want to enjoy Christmas with your hubby. Sounds like you are going great guns with your swimming - well done!
I have done most of my baking yesterday - in the fridge I have white Christmas, 2 jelly slices (1 red, 1 green), a lemon slice, almond fingers dipped in chocolate, autumn leave biscuits and pastry and filling to make this new recipe I found - fig and walnut pillows. Couldn't complete them as I didn't have a fluted biscuit cutter. I will buy on today and complete them tonight then start giving out my plates of Christmas fare to quite a few friends and elderly people. That leaves next week for cooking for the family feast on Christmas Day.
Today Frank and I are going on a 1 1/2 hour train trip to Bairnsdale to use up the last of our free rail passes. My aunt used to say "Use them of lose them" so we always try to use them. We wander around town, have lunch, have a rare go at the pokies and generally have a nice relaxed day.
I think it was Deb mentioned my rattling chest. It is much better Deb - I finished the prednisolone yesterday so time will tell but at the moment I feel good. After nearly 6 months of coughing, rattling chest and asthma, I am hoping it has gone.
Have a good day everyone - this time next week will be Christmas Day so hope you are all organised.

There goes the idea that you are a buffalo hunting snake catching feral hunter that supplies food to the indiginous community in NT.
You are really just an interior decorator 
Very good indeed, I had a good laugh at that

I did have one good thing for the week. I went back to the sea and floated just out where I could only touch the bottom if my head was under. Did that for about fifteen minutes.
Then was shown how to start off with breaststroke.
Could swim just for a few metres...but did it. The sea was completely flat so perfect.
I am now a mermaid ๐
but then the thing happened and took away how darn happy I was. But I am getting back to trying to think of the good things.
As I would say to my grandkids Amber...Good Job!! you are certainly on the way...
You mean Xmas is Thursday? I thought it was the following Saturday.
Gosh you must have a big fridge Sandy. Or criss-crossed trays stacked. Your improving health is encouraging.
It is so long since I caught a train, hope you have a good relaxing day with Frank. He won't go to sleep with the clackety-clack will he?
Amber, our little mermaid, shake that tail 
If you've forgiven that person before for the same hurt, I'd be a tad cold towards them for evermore. Civil but cool. But that's me.
Freddie and Tapemeasureman. Very classy! and worth waiting for the pics. Colours are quite "beachie". I like.
The ambersx2 and ams suggestions sound good for appearance. The horizontal lines of blinds would help to extend the visual width of the room. The cleaning bit though, is worrisome.
Aps suggestion of a bit of "bush" is a fair comment. But with a sliding window, other things might "slide" off the sill.
I "see" a round-leafed succulent in the blue pot which I would reverse placement with the soap dispenser (again for visual lengthening of the space).
Bushie off to the "big smoke" today (see, I get my days mixed up) hope you what you want is in stock. Don't forget the glass pane.
Hi Tasfleur, funny Joono, nicnacs, lyndal, punchie, b3, Stawka, who else, ummm Oh heck, waves frantically to everyone.
Time for a second cuppa.
DEB
Oh, you fresh-air lover, you.
Due to it being a bathroom, and presently without window covering, and us not being aware of possible gawkers whilst the Tapmeasureman is causing steam, Freddie may insist on having the window closed periodically.
DEB
Wow look at all those lovely comments, thanks thanks and thanks........and yes we had our first shower last night.
I also thought of a venetion type blind, but the cleaning put me off. I am thinking more of a cross over white lace curtain.....it needs something to finish it off, and the sea blue pot was white and I spray painted it along with the white clothes hamper 
I am thinking of puting the pot between the cross over curtains with mabe an artificial ivy leaf or something that drapes.
Amber keep smiling, don't allow others to bring you down 
Wish I was Sandy's neighbour
