We've had such a busy day.. our new furniture was scheduled to arrive between 2:15 pm and 4:15 pm, so we were all vac-ed and clear for them. Our lounge looked really big, it is actually bigger than the average living room.
But last evening I had a text message from the hedge cutting firm, who said he could come in the afternoon. I was not going to put him off we've had him booked for when he had time, for 2 weeks and it shouldn't affect the furniture delivery.
At 10:20 am we had some one knocking on our front door, we both thought it was the furniture early, but no. It was the handrail for the new steps, which had been ordered 4 weeks ago! It was all happening together!
We had only just had a coffee, when a short while later the furniture did arrive and early and it looks amazing, Perfectly matches the silver green carpet and the teal colour we had the alcoves painted. We are now looking forward to our new curtains, which should be ready the week after next.
We do love them and are so pleased with our choice. And more importantly they are very comfortable.
Then Dh said he would fix up the new hand rail! Well, that was a first for him. He usually takes a few days weeks or longer to get round to fix something. So off he went and got all the gear to do it, yes we have the drill and bits and electric screwdriver all tidy in zippy up containers, looking very new. He wasn't any time getting it done and I've been up and down them several times. It is perfect and I feel safe using the steps!
Then he fixed up another grab bar round the side of our bungalow pathway, where there is a steep step. All on the same afternoon!
And the hedge cutting firm came about 2 so that's all done..I went round with the weed spray for the edges of the drive and outside on the road, where new weeds had sprung up. I'm afraid my days of digging out those between the paver weeds are over, at 81 I need all the help I can get!
Today we plan to do the grass, I'll do the edges and a bit of transplanting more carrots into pots. We are trialing a new garden firm on Friday to do some weeding, hope it proves to be ok.
And we saw the hedgehog eating the meal worms Dh had scattered on the ground.
A very satisfying day and there is still the rest of the week to come.

What a lot of happy things on one day!
Wow, you did have it all! I really like the new furniture. The rail looks really nice and is going to be very helpful in feeling safe going up and down.
All the big jobs done early in the week. Perfect! Enjoy the rest of the week.
A lot happening in one day for sure. Your furniture looks comfy and durable too. Nice that your DH got the railing up so quickly. Good luck with your new gardener when they show. I spray too. But I do still pull weeds out of my small flower beds.
Things were hopping at your house. I'm glad that you got so much done and that you like it all.
Your new furniture looks lovely. And you must be so pleased to have the handrail all sorted now. Xx
