My day

[freddie*rooster]

After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this

Morning all 🙂

I've just got back from the supermarket and its bedlam there already. It looks like the tourists are arriving early this year. It's not usually this busy until after Christmas.

I also went to the candle shop to get some Christmassy tea lights to burn on Christmas day. No such thing apparently 😞 I reckon they would be walking out the door at this time of year.

Lovely sunny day here although a bit windy. I'm over the wind. It seems like it's been blowing for months now.

Consider replacing the window with a "bay" type window.

When I built my house, I put one in my kitchen and my bedroom.

The kitchen one is a normal window, rectangular aluminium box, the bedroom is floor to ceiling, wood, angled sides.

Both of them make the house / roooms look larger PLUS when standing at the sink

you don't have glass a foot in front of you.

Az why are they talking you out of an automatic pool cleaner? Unless you have loads of trees overhanging your pool, in which case it would be constantly clogged, they are fantastic. You will still need to vacuum occasionally but not as often.

That room was made for frameless.

My vanity is wooden also - Balinese cabinet with one of those useless above the top sinks.

Wash your face & the water runs down to the elbows onto the surface of the vanity.

OK Bad design - not big headed.

I actually did away with the bath altogether - the old one was extroadinarily stylish????

Handmade with those 'gorgeous' 1" x 1/2" tiny tiny tiles. the width of the room with shelves (same tiles) each end, these managed to get totally cluttered.

Took the whole water service to fill - and one felt a right Cleopatra - minus the asses milk - lounging in it with bubbles up to the chin.

Not really an option aps, as there is a verandah that runs along the back of the house right outside the bathroom and I dont want to encroach on it. I don't have a kitchen window, 'cause the wall was knocked down when the sun/family room was added. I know there was a wood stove in the kitchen at one time 'cause the remains of the old chimney are still under the house.

helen I often wonder what ran through people heads at times when they were decorating, sometimes I think, not much lol ....I would like an old fashioned wash stand as a vanity, prob is that most of them come with a  mirror, which I dont want

My old bath is going up the back as a veggie garden, prob spuds

Lurker the wind at Port Macquarie yesterday was unbelievable for this time of the year, I don't think the tourists have arrived up there yet, maybe a few early starters but by Christmas it will be packed.

I LOVE my bath! It is just over normal size with spa jets. I love bubbling away there on a cold winter evening or after a stint in the garden. I don't think OH has ever used it lol. It is certainly MY bath 🙂

I must have a look for the photo's of our bathroom before we pulled it out and started again, it's actually hard to describe how ugly (and filthy) it was. The house was a rental before us and it looked like people had been squatting here. We pulled out the bathroom kitchen and toilet before we even moved in. I dont think any of them had been cleaned for at least 10 years

We have a bay window in the loungeroom and another in the main bedroom, and yes they do make the rooms look bigger.
