This week has been a busy one here. The beginning of the week didn't start off great. I was woken by my husband telling me that Fluff had died. Little L was heartbroken as he was her little friend. She used to let him out everyday and run around the garden with him. We have another bunny, a Netherland Dwarf named Smudge but she's old now at eight and a half years old and very timid so not an ideal playmate for a lively little girl. Little L has been talking about Fluff everyday, saying how naughty or funny he was and that seems to cheer her up a bit, thinking about his antics.
We finally have our a pc back after being taken back and forth to the pc shop over the past couple of weeks to be fixed. We have ended up with a totally new pc ( new to us anyway ). The only difference between our old one and the one we have now is that ours had a better graphics card but we can easily change that at a later date.
I had my first appointment at the rheumatology clinic where I was given some really attractive splints to wear. I'm now waiting to be sent an appointment for another hospital where I will be having tests on my nerves for carpol tunnel and sent for physio again.
A new cooker also arrived this week. The oven on my old cooker gave up about a month ago ( it started just blowing cool air out ) but I wasn't in a big rush to buy a new cooker as the grill and hob were fine. I didn't realise how much I used the oven. Little L missed baking and even suggested we put the cakes under the grill. I missed Sunday roasts and my eldest boy, Shepherds Pie. I decided we couldn't cope much longer so went off cooker shopping. Our old cooker was tiny and only just fit inbetween the kitchen units so a unit had to be cut down to fit a normal size cooker in which then gave us less storage.
Right next to the kitchen door is a cupboard where we kept shoes and coats so we moved all the clutter out and gave it a make over. It had a quick coat of paint which we had in the shed and my husband used off cuts of wood from work for the shelves which I covered in oilcloth. I love my pantry/larder type cupboard, we should have changed it years ago.
So sorry to hear of Fluff's passing. It can be very hard to explain to the little people.
ReplyDeleteI hope the splints and physio prove to be a big help to you! I sometimes try to imagine what my life would be like if I couldn't crochet, knit, etc. as much as I like. Groan

I'm sorry to hear about Fluff. Your pantry looks good. I love the oil cloth. I just found your blog via Craft Gossip -- I'll try not to comment on every post. :)
