Finally. Work is complete on my house. The gardener came tonight to collect his money. The last part of “project house” is done. There are a few bits to tweak. A tiny bit of touching up here and there where my paintwork was a bit shoddy. But, the best bit, so I’m told by my friend, C, is the “reveal”. I think C is more excited about this than I am! The reveal involves hanging pictures (I’ve actually hung three already because I couldn’t wait any longer), putting the “objets d’art” (his description, not mine!) in place and generally doing lots of little design things.

Over the weekend I’m planning a trip to B&Q to buy some compost for the garden and then the garden centre to check out their plants. I’m also going to get some glass pebbles to scatter around. Pink ones.
