WALK, THEN PAINTING

Another hot day ahead of us.  So I'm off early for a walk with Lacy.  Doing the mall (or exterior perimeter) nice and early.

Then I'm coming home and getting on with the bathroom painting.

I ran into a little glitch, with a small leak under the new spout last night, so I will be ringing the plumber today to get him to come and sort it out.

It caused a run on the paint under the spout yesterday, so I'll have to fix that once they have sorted out the leak.

Slightly annoying, but these things happen.

I've got plenty of other stuff to paint and do in the meantime, so all good. 

I would love to hang the new shelves, but feel like that should wait until after the bath is in place.  I don't want the guys to knock their heads on them.  I'm hoping that we MIGHT get the bath in over this coming weekend.

Mike and Joyce will be here on Saturday for a few days, which we are really looking forward to.

They will get to meet Miss Lily!  I am 100% positive they will fall in love with her, just like we all have.

ABOVE:  Bex and Archer took Lily out in her pram yesterday.  You can bet ya bottom dollar Archer LOVED pushing the pram.

I think I'll have to wait until both boys are at school before I get my turn.  😊😉

BACK LATER...

ABOVE:  Another stinking hot walk done and dusted.  If I wasn't worried about gaining weight again, I'd not walk at all.  I bloody hate it.

Lacy thinks I love it!  Stupid girl.  I'd much rather sit on me arse and watch a movie! 😂😄😅

I am now going to ring around tyre repair places.  I have a slow leak in my front left tyre.  Yesterday it was alarmingly low after we got back from Tirau, at 10 psi.  Not that I profess to know a bloody thing about cars, but it did look kinda flatish.  

So I suppose I will be going out a bit later to get that fixed.

Then I can come home and do some more painting.  There wasn't any water under the spout this first thing this morning, so I'm going to turn the water on (into a bucket) then see if there is any water leaking under the spout.  If so, a call to the plumber will happen.

ABOVE:  These are the shelves I bought yesterday.  I wasn't gunna show you, but then thought... why not?  Wood and metal.  Following along with a lot of the other stuff we have bought from the same shop. 

AND.... yep, I still have a leak.  So I've messaged the plumber to get him back to fix it.

And I have an appointment with a tyre repair place this afternoon.  So all getting sorted. 

10.45 am: And the lovely James came immediately!  Diagnosed the problem (Not his mistake), and fixed it.  And off he went.

I went and checked on the spout after 10 minutes of James leaving... BUGGER!  Still leaking.   So I text him again.  

And back he came.

This time he put sealer on the inside of the spout, cos it was clearly a design fault with the spout itself.  SORTED 2nd time around.

I hope.  I'm a bit scared to go and check it again.  I might just wait for an hour or two.  😂😏

I'm going out soon, I've got quite a list of things to get today.  And then there is the tyre issue to get sorted too.

So, I tidy up me hair, and ...

ABOVE: Wasn't James lovely, he didn't say anything about the paint on me eyebrow!

Talking of eyebrows.

Has anyone had their eyebrows tattooed on?

Cos I'm seriously thinking of getting mine done... cos I don't have any bloody eyebrows to speak of.  I have ONE really good long eyebrow hair, but the bitch is GREY... and I dare not pull it out cos then there would be nothing there.  

So, what say you?   To Tattoo or not ????

AND WHY, yes or no?

Clearly DOGSTARS is a firm NO. lol

It is SO HOT...I get to the tyre place. Go in, the guy says hi, and which is your car?  I tell him it is the blue one. There's 3 blue cars out the front. He gives me THE LOOK. So I twig... and point out MY car.

Then he says... and where are the keys? 

To which I say... In me handbag. 

Deadlock.

I got THE LOOK again, this time with his head tilted to the side... fuck I'm a dick.

I fished them outta me handbag...hand them over and slink off to the air conditioned waiting room.

Just me and....

A few dozen tyres for company.

Ya gotta like the smell of rubber to enjoy being in here.

I don't. 

Might leave with a headache.

ABOVE: And there's the problem.  A screw in me tyre. All fixed now. Home.

In the pool cos its just TOO HOT to do anything else.

5.20 pm:  And I was in and out of that pool for three solid hours this afternoon!  It was WONDERFUL.  I got a few jobs done around the house in between popping in and out of that pool.  There's a few puddles of water here and there, meh, don't care.

I just had a very tepid (almost cold) shower, and am spic 'n' span for another nice evening indoors with me Stewie.

Or we might go out to dinner... if I can be arsed putting some clothes on.  I got in me nightie after my shower... slightly better than wandering around the house naked eh?  lol

When Stew arrived home from work, I suggested we go out to dinner.  Steve 'n' Bex had given us a dinner gift voucher, so why not use it?

We had a really lovely dinner, followed by an ice cream at Movenpick in town.

I will post a couple of photos of our dinner tomorrow, for now I will leave you with our night sky when we got home.

ABOVE:  How cool is that?  Very pretty.

And on that note... I'm signing off for the day.

It's been a really lovely day.
