I used the cheque that I received from my dad for my birthday gift to buy this cute Tab floor light to use as a bed side reading light. I dont have a bedside table, so this light is perfect for the job - Im so pleased with how cosy it looks. Perfect for those long dark winter nights that are setting in....Thanks Dad!
Similar to a house warming gift, Frini brought me these gorgeous 'Living Room Warming' flowers for my 'new' living room. They were the perfect finishing touch. Thank you!!
The above photo is what my living room looked like on the day I left for my holiday to Canada. The rotten timber window lintle had been replaced with a new concrete one, the window architraves returned, and the first layer of plaster applied to the walls. I only had to hope that they would do a careful paint job while I was away.
Lucky for me, the contractor doing the repair work had an excellent decorating team and after a busy afternoon with Frini spent dusting and moving everything back into place, Zen was restored once more at long last, 17 weeks after the first leak. (Thanks Frini!)
The exterior scaffold is still up, Im scheduled to do the final inspection on the exterior this coming Friday...
Here are five photographs that capture the essence of my holiday to the Canadian Rockies... I'll get on to an update on the flat as soon as I've settled back in but sorting through the hundreds of photos I took to choose five to post was more fun...
As a special treat I am staying here in this hotel which was built in 1927 by the Great Northern Railway for my birthday....
