Watch this Space

OK, I'm starting to feel like my old self again. The carpets went in today, AND it's looking gooooood! I finished painting the lounge, study and main bedroom. That leaves me with the kitchen and the en-suite bathroom. The other THREE rooms and TWO bathrooms will have to wait. Typical South African...we need space and I've got too much of it. There is no such thing as hired help...too expensive and I'm far too fussy (perfectionist is right word.)

Another reason for my overjoy and excitement is because our furniture is arriving on Monday, after it cleared customs. The biggy with customs was that we have a lot (and I mean a lot) of chunky wooden furniture. What was worrying is that some pieces had woodborer damage from before it was turned into furniture. We had it fumigated, just in case, but it cleared and it's on the Island as I'm writing this.

I've been meaning to post pics for so long, and I've left the camera in the car.....but here are a few that is on the laptop. Will chat soon (hopefully, seeing as cardboard city is arriving soon).

Me painting. This has all changed. We pulled the carpets and put a more neutral colour, earthy colour in. The wall colour has changed to Dulux - Natural Hessian, and we're putting vertical and roller blinds in. Hence all the curtain rails have also been removed.

A waterfall on the one of the walks we've done on the Island. This place is truly God's Land.

One of the pretty seagulls that is our equivalent of South African doves.

Now, if you will excuse me, my PJ's and Winnie-the-Pooh are waiting.
