Surprisingly the scaffolding people did turn up on Friday, but I hope my neighbours didn't want a bank holiday lie in because they were there at 8 am. Thankfully we were both up and ready by then, suspecting they'd be early. But, I still got quite the surprise when one knocked on the kitchen window while I was busy loading the dishwasher.
So, that was Friday. Yesterday we sorted the spare room out as they need to be in there to fit the heater. The room had very much become a dumping ground, but four bin bags of stuff went out, we put up pictures that had been sitting around and finally started to put up James' planes. Those planes, man. James collected them ages ago, Corey was at secondary school at the time so at least 10 years ago. James has always said he wanted to attach them to the ceiling with fishing wire, but like so many things never got around to it, so has had boxes of planes sitting around for ages. Yesterday the first ones went up. It'll take a while, mostly because getting the wire on them in tedious but that's James' job. All I do is stick the things in the ceiling.
Today we're off to deliver Easter gifts to my youngest niece and nephew. My SiL said no chocolate this year as they end up with loads, so they're getting a t-shirt each, then all the older nieces and nephews are getting some money. Boring but what they want. Then we're going to Newcastle to see Corey which I'm looking forward to. I haven't seen him since Christmas, which is far too long.
The shelter where we got Murphy is a very small independent run by one woman and her husband. She's seriously amazing and dedicated to the cats, and also has this amazing memory where she can tell you about every single cat that has gone from the rescue. She asked on the private adopters' group if anyone wanted to know the origins of their cats. I asked about Murphy and it turns out he was taken from a really dirty home, him and two families of nine other kittens, all riddled with fleas along with another pregnant cat and two older female cats who the owner demanded be returned after they'd been spayed. I've always known Murphy had three brothers and a sister but didn't realise they came from such a poor start.
I caught up on some tv last night and finished season two of New Amsterdam and season 2 of Bless This Mess. Only to find out that show has been cancelled. Sadness.
