Bang..Bang..


From next door! It seems that everyone who comes to the house does something else to it. The worst was "Tudor style" wall beams that one owner put in there. We heard every blow and bang of the hammer as they were attached. It looked like the inside of a refurbished pub when it was finished. The landlord and his wife are there at the moment, and seem to be removing fitted wardrobes from the front bedroom. That would be quite a big job since they were all on one wall..so hence the Bang Bang..
There have been a lot of people in that house..never really been a totally happy house, there have been separations, divorces..temporary residents, all manner of folk with their trials and tribulations of life and death too. No murders or suicides though so not as bad as Midsomer Murders!
I have lived in my house for around 62 years, so have seen all sorts come and go in the little row of terraced houses incomers like to call "Cottages". My house isn't a cottage though..it is just a little terraced house, and nothing wrong with that.
Vin took himself off to Formby to get a hair cut this morning. He said if there was a queue he wasn't bothering, but when he came back he said there was one man in front of him so he waited. The baarber was very chatty apparently, so kept him waiting, which would annoy him a bit..but...he gave him Senior Citizens rate for his hair cut, so he saved £1.50..so he was best pleased with that. He nipped into Waitrose for a couple of things for me that I had forgotten yesterday, and was back quite quickly.
Meanwhile back at the ranch I did our bedding..the Egyptian cotton bedding that need to be ironed quite firmly. What you need with this bedding is one of those steam presses, that would make it a lot easier..but no matter. I do quite enjoy ironing, I like getting everything crease free.
Tonight we are having:
Toad in the hole with quorn sausages
Mushroom gravy
Mixed vegetables.
