The bathroom remodelling has thrown my life into disarray, but it’s over now. As a result is this weekend I have done a lot of washing and ironing, now I have my new laundry appliances. I’ve also been shopping for fruit and veges, including strawberries and asparagus (yum!) and supermarket stuff. I pottered in the garden, weeded my little patch and watered the plants. I am happy to report that my strawberry plant has 3 tiny strawberries on it.

Yesterday I went to my usual Pilates lesson, and today I went for a long walk instead of going to the gym. It was a warm sunny day, so it was really great to get outside.

I’ve also bought a new camera, so I’ve been busy taking photos. Some of them are the fun sort, and others are the boring sort (stuff I want to sell on TradeMe).

Yesterday I went to the hairdresser and got some blonde streaks put in my hair for summer. This and the sunshine have improved my outlook on life a lot.

I luxuriated in a nice hot bath while watching the almost hypnotic rotation of the washing machine. The extractor fan removes steam! There is a heater! There are towel rails!

A couple of minor things are still to be done. A towel ring needs to be put by the basin, and some paint splatters removed from the floor. The builder is coming to do those tomorrow.

Progress has been a lot slower this week. The painter came on Tuesday and looked at it, but didn’t actually start painting until Wednesday. That has meant the painting won’t be completed until Monday, so I’ve had to postpone delivery of the washing machine and dryer. I have had a few words to the builder about the delay.
