Sep. 24th, 2022 09:15 amIn excellent news, I have a new kitchen ceiling!
Well, mostly, it still needs the trim around the edges but the main part is up along with the new spotlights and it's so shiny and bright. Murphy makes me laugh as he keeps sitting and looking up at the reflected lights as if he can see the mystery of the universes up there.
My brother had a heck of a job as apparently the wall bricks are extra hard and it took a load of effort fitting the structure that the actual cladding would be attached to. It was another 8am to 5pm job for him and his work friend, so I let him off when he was mocking my baked beans stash, which apparently fell on him when he opened the cupboard looking for something.
It's Pauline's birthday on Monday and before I knew when my brother was coming we'd arranged to take her out for lunch, so we were out for part of the mess and noise part. The cats had to be locked in our bedroom because the downstairs front door was open, and I felt so sorry for Murphy as he was obviously scared of the drilling and had jammed himself behind the bookshelves. Milo wasn't fussed at all and was chilling on the bed when I let them out.
When I came back from lunch I also found out my brother had wanted a coffee and had thought the filter coffee was instant and had tried to make a mug with that. That didn't go well so he'd tried one of the instant sachets I have, but they're Baileys flavour and he said that was disgusting. So James made him a pod skinny latte, and he hated that too. Guess he's an instant only man, so I bought a jar of Nescafe for him as they're back on Monday, for what should be the final time.
Milo has been a bit off lately, nothing too serious but I am worried his mild kidney disease is getting worse or else he's getting thyroid issues. He's still with the PDSA so we called in there only to be told his registration had run out so we needed to provide proof of tax credits again. So, back home to dig out that letter, provided that, and because it's not an emergency had to put in a consultation request and they'd phone back within four days to see if he needs to be seen. They didn't call Friday and I'm assuming won't over the weekend so hopefully that call will come Monday.
But, while looking for that letter I did find a long-lost Love to Shop gift card worth £50 which was excellent.
My Covid booster gave me mild side effects but nothing painkillers couldn't sort out. But I still have a red, warm, hard spot around the injection site. James has the same so it must be a common thing for this type.
First Strictly show last night to reveal pairings and while I knew them already due to looking up spoilers it was so great to see the show back, and with so many new pros too. Also, new Ghosts!
Tonight the first actual dancing Strictly, and also new Masked Dancer, so that's my whole Saturday early evening booked up right there.
This afternoon we're off to the cinema to see Don't Worry Darling. We had actually planned to go yesterday but arranged to meet Kayleigh and Bodhi at Costa saying we'd stay for a little bit and then head off to Durham for the 1:30 show, which yeah, didn't happen. Bodhi was in fine form so we were still sitting chatting and playing when the show was due to start.
And to end, it feels like I've gone back in time bandom wise with recent photos of Mikey with Gabe and also Hey Chris doing some excellent captioning. ( behind here )
