Aug. 2nd, 2022 03:34 pmMy brother phoned last night asking if I was still ready to go in terms of the kitchen, and I am, sort of. I've decluttered all of the base cupboards and one of the top ones. Though that one was pretty much filled with boxes of tea.
Next are the other four top cupboards and the tall one, though half of that is the freezer with shelves above. It shouldn't take that long as the biggest one has pipework in it meaning it's shallow and another is a corner cupboard with a lot of empty space that I can't reach.
So the plan is for the electrician to come at the end of the week and look at what needs doing. We did get a quote previously but that was before lockdown and prices have jumped up since then so I'm bracing myself for that. But, that's the main thing that needs doing so we'll pay anyway, safety before cosmetics always. Plus, Chris has said the electrician is going to phone him while he's looking at the job so I'm hoping that means a bit of a second-hand mates rate.
I called into Morrisons yesterday and they had a display of reduced fruit bushes and I came out with two carrier bags full. But they were nice bushes, not wilted at all, and were only 35p each. I'm sure I can find spaces for them somewhere in the garden and if they fail, well it's not a big loss at all.
Masterchef Australia started this week which always signifies we're into the second half of the year to me. Now I'll be watching the hundreds of episodes that will be broadcast before the finale in Dec.
We also watched the first ep of Surreal Estate which wasn't the best thing I've watched but did keep my attention quite nicely.
I should go find places for the new plants, and pick the ripe tomatoes and courgettes. I've so many of both already. I think it's going to be a bumper year, though sadly the pea pods died after one harvest which was a shame.
ETA: There's a post up about a potential Camp Sparkle next year. I think any Sparklers who follow me are members of the comm anyway, but just in case.
