Apr. 15th, 2021 05:03 pmEwan the sheep arrived yesterday and has now been delivered to Kayleigh and Lucy. They've read that babies react to noise in the womb so Ewan will be unpacked and making white noise at Lucy's bump asap. They really are the most adorable first-time parents. And now I'm home I see Kayleigh has posted Ewan in action here
I originally wrote a lot here about various workmen but what it came down to was, the joiner came yesterday and I now have a floor in the airing cupboard again. The electrician was supposed to come yesterday to sign off on the solar heater but is now coming on Saturday. I was supposed to have a workmen free day tomorrow but now someone is coming to do another survey on the house. The scaffolding is still here.
Today actually was a workman free as James had a day off so we went to Sunderland as the non-essential shops reopened on Monday. It was nice to see them open again and James picked up a box he needed for a commission and then we went to Lush. Earlier this week Lush Sunderland asked people to nominate NHS heroes who'd worked through the pandemic so they could give them a treat, so I nominated James.
I enjoyed being back in the shop and talking to the staff again, they were being very careful safety-wise and I felt very comfortable. The manageress had put together treat bags for baths and showers but had no bath ones at hand so James was able to pick any bubble bar for his treat. Then I took advantage of the recycling scheme which gives you 50p off a product for every empty Lush packaging you bring back and treated myself to one of the new issue bubble bars. And, as a bonus, I was told Karma shower gel is coming soon, my favourite scent :D
It was also the last day of the Costa promo, I can divulge that Hazelnut plus lattes heat up nicely in the microwave, and I still have one in the fridge for the morning. At least, that's the plan, it may not actually last that long.
