Finally – house pictures
Posted at 21:06 in Food, Personal, Product Reviews
Happy Tuesday bloggies, hope you’re all having an awesome day!
My day was going well until my surrogate Nan was taken to hospital this afternoon :-( She isn’t my real Nan but she is very dear to me and I call her Nan.
I’m really hoping she pulls through – any positive vibes are welcome.
I finally got around to uploading the pictures I took of our house on the day we moved in. However, they looked pretty plain and boring without our furniture in so I took some more this evening to show the difference. The quality isn’t brilliant as they were taken on my phone and the light isn’t the best as it’s getting dark so we had our lamps on.
This is our teeny tiny entrance hall, which is lovely and bright…
Our living room also has a dining room knocked through but that space is still a bit of a shambles at the moment. We want to get a nice dining table and chairs next month so once that is in place, I’ll post a picture of it. The living room itself is pretty large and so light. There is wood panelling on the one wall which I’m not keen on really but the landlord doesn’t want us removing it which is a shame. We’re going to ask him if we can sand it down and stain it a light maple colour instead as it’s just a tad too orangey for our taste.
Here it is on the day we moved in…
And now…
The kitchen…
Our garden is so much bigger and neater than our last garden too. It has 3 awesome raised beds and a small one on the lawn…
And a little patio area…
And a detached garage that the husband is going to use as a gym…
The garden path, flower beds and patio were absolutely filthy when we moved in…
But the husband jet washed them to get them all sparkly clean – I *heart* him!
I’m going to use the beds to plant herbs, salad leaves and maybe some veggies too – I’m not very green fingered though so I have some reading to do. I did plant some herbs about a week after we moved in – flowering oregano, purple basil and chives – and they are growing very nicely!
Taking bets on how long I can keep them alive for ;-)
Food has been good today though I’ve had the worst “fat day” I’ve had in a long time – I felt like a whale all day!
Breakfast was mocha porridge topped with Greek yoghurt, blueberries, strawberries & pecans…
Mid morning I had a skimmed latte.
Lunch was going to be an omelette, then I changed my mind and planned scrambled eggs & toast and then I changed my mind back and made the original omelette and served it between 2 slices of bread – dilemma solved!
Mid afternoon I had an apple with almond butter and a delicious earl grey…
Dinner was prawn jambalaya which was yummy as always…
When I got home this afternoon, I sat and blubbed my way through last night’s episode of The Biggest Loser. Afterwards, I hopped onto my Air Climber and completed my 10 minutes as per my challenge. It was a great ten minutes and the time passes so quickly when I crank up my music. As my legs are a problem area for me, I’m hoping the air climber will help!
And now I’m off for a shower and bed – g’night blog friends!
Lots of healing vibes to your Nan, and wow to the new house – it looks lovely and that’s a fab garden!
I hope your Nan is ok. Your new house is looking great, really spacious and I love your garden :-)
