Today was the first day I have left my house for seven days. Popped into Lerwick to get DIY stuff and more paint for the next project! Went to Teamore cafe/restaurent by the bus station and had one of their scrumptious veggie burgers with chips, salad, ginger beer and then lemon cake with ice-cream, lovely! I love this little cafe, its very relaxed and I have always had good food in there. I don't know where the day has disppeared to, but it just has!

 

Trying to organise a door for my dining room (its never had a door), but needs one to regulate and heat all the rooms efficiently, I should have got this done last Winter. Naturally it will be an odd size I need, nothing is standard width/size when you live in a old house! Jewsons getting me a price next week for a door which is the closest size to what I need.

 

Still fine tuning my northern lights themed porch. The ceiling looks amazing, even though I say so myself, but not to everyone's taste! Potential new carpet fitting date next Friday, but when I checked today, the new replacement (last one was faulty) hadn't arrived yet.

 

Had a surprise email from Octopus who have been monitoring my usage and cost compared to last year with the old metre and they are seeing a marked difference and are going to work out a refund for me! Fabuous, I guess this is their way of saying the old metre was not working correctly?!

 

Lots of other stuff going on, but you can't write everything on here!
