V Day minus One!!

Another dday of sprucing up the house. One of the problems is that I can't see the dust these days so things get left. We did our net curtains this morning with the GloWhite, haven't used that for years. I was considering getting some new ones, but they have come up beautifully actually, look like new again. So they can stay for a whiloe longer. I'm not a huge fan of net curtains, but they do stop people looking in through the windows. The new neighbours have had vertical blinds installed which don't look great either, I think it makes the house look like an office or a dental surgery. Not sure what the answer is really, the trouble is that there is only a small front garden so people walking past can see in easily, so you do need something. Hence Nets..
Weather wise a very funny day, rainy and d5rizzly in parts and now clear and sunny but cold. I have decided to put my sandals away for the cooler weather , it is getting a bit cold for them now.

Vins newly painted wall looks really lovely in the sunshine, it is a creamy light yellowy colour called clotted cream which is what it says on the tin. Very pretty and cottagey. Maybe we will have to stick "Cottage" after our house name too like some of the other incomers have done..but there again maybe not!
Sad story in the news about the four Welsh miners who have lost their lives in a mining disaster. Terrible for the families. There was an item in the paper about the loss of life in mining disasters since the beginning of the nineteen hundreds..massive numbers actually. One mine in 1934 lost 435 miners!! you just can't imagine the devastation that must have caused on a town..and then there were many others with huge losses. Terrible price to pay for coal. You don't expect it these days though.
Tonight we are having:
Cheese pasties from Waitrose..well that will please Vin anyway,
Rice puddings from same store..
Easy tea tonight.
