Fiona's Quiet Life

had a really good day today.

done all sorts of inter­est­ing and fun things.….…..and some use­ful things too like put up three blinds and cre­ated a table with a drawer in it for my tele­vi­sion to sit on as the one it is on is very 1960’s and a bit too low, i felt him­self nag­ging me as i held the panel pins between my lips, dan­ger­ous thing to do he said , you could swal­low one and cause all sorts of problems.

i think i am going to paint my spare bed­room floor white as hav­ing pulled up the car­pet in the newly dec­or­ated din­ing room i have real­ised how much dust car­pet and under­lay can hold even though it was reg­u­larly vacu­umed. and sham­pooed. going to choose some nice wooden floor­ing for the lounge and din­ing room and car­pet for my bed­room tomor­row. have some more win­dow cov­er­ings to put up tomor­row because JJ is com­ing to stay next week for a few nights .

Scot­tish schools go back tomor­row and the trees are show­ing signs of autumn already.

scooped up daugh­ter and grand­sons yes­ter­day and went to Ikea to look at book­cases , got bored with that so had lunch there and came back here to play on wii. then they decided i needed tidy­ing up so we moved all the fur­niture round in the lounge. it now looks like a show house with everything per­fectly placed.….the rest of the house is a tip but i am work­ing on it.……slowly .…..over­dose of curry has made me feel ill.

going to have an early night.

So much curry .…again…i always thought that Indian babies must get used to the spi­ci­ness through their moth­ers milk but what about bottle fed babies. .……any­way tonight there was a sur­prise party next door for Harry ‚lots and lots of curry.good party he was totally unpre­pared for a room full of rel­at­ives and me.

it has been a strange day.

first a visit to the doc for a check up this morning

then choos­ing a head­stone and the word­ing on it ( my name isn’t allowed on it as i am not Jew­ish) for Basil’s grave.

then the party.

i need another cup of tea.

I let out a blood curd­ling scream.….did any­one come gal­lop­ing to my res­cue, not a chance which is a good thing really.….….i know sun­bathing is sup­posed to be bad for you but not in the way it was for me today, i don’t usu­ally sun­bathe but i thought that a little sun­light on my skin would be a good thing so on went the bikini and the sunglasses and out Into the garden i went with my after lunch cup of tea. i lower myself on to my comfy chair and OUCH !! a wasp was already sit­ting there and took excep­tion to my join­ing it..It is still very sore sev­eral hours later.

today i nearly bought a chair for my bed­room, two win­dow blinds and some book­cases. i did by a bathmat for my new .…..but still door-less .…en suite. i arranged for the room where the old ward­robes were to be papered and painted. i did paint my bed­room myself. i paid a bill that had got into my makeup bag some weeks ago.got an invit­a­tion to a sur­prise birth­day party.

tired now .
