Sharing some DIY jobs I've done around the house this past week. πŸ–ŒοΈ There's so much work but I'm taking my time and just doing one job at a time! πŸ€— Eventually everything will come together! These were easy peasy paint jobs and the white frames still need a second coat which will happen in due course. πŸ˜…

How do you like my new chairs from recycled plastic from Makro SA love them!! 😍

Juliet sure loves them too!! πŸ€—

Happy first day of September everyone! 😍 We can now officially start the countdown to Christmas. πŸ˜… 🀣

I ended off my August by doing some paint jobs in and around the house! One of those jobs entailed painting my stoep bench a bright cheery πŸ’› just in time for spring day! 😍 And what a difference it makes!

As I sit here contemplating life I'm going through my fb memories and I remember a time during c*vid when we could finally go out for supper with friends in Mauritius and the sushi restaurant in Port Chambly enforced having teddies between us for social distancing whilst we were dining out. I can only laugh. πŸ˜‚See photos below! πŸ‘‡πŸ»

Anyhow... I still have more painting to do. I managed day 11 of rebounding yesterday and even walked the dogs. 🐢

I wish you a fabulous spring day! The sun is out but I believe a cold front is underway! Make the most of the day and take care!

Guess who hauled their lazy butts off the couch and took the dogs for a long walk! πŸ€— Proud of our resilience despite the cold and laziness.. πŸ˜… 🀣 🀣 The girl child made us a prawn 🦐 poke bowl which were absolutely delicious. πŸ˜‹The fire is burning, we've got some wine. We've been exercising for two weeks straight so zero guilt. πŸ˜… 🀣 🀣 A movie and then bed!
See you guys tomorrow!

Judgment doesn't live here... πŸ˜… 🀣 Not on cold rainy Saturday afternoons in any case. πŸ˜… 🀣 How's your day going? 🀨 We've been to the shops quickly and now I'm under the blanket with my treat for the week. My favorite Lay's salt chips and a book! Some music 🎢 in the background and the dogs keeping my feet warm. Later a fire and a smidgen of wine and a good movie! πŸ€—

Tomorrow we're heading out to Hopefield to celebrate my niece's birthday. She's not yet in the double digits so gifts are still an easy chore. πŸ₯³

Anyhow.. Let me know what you're up to and enjoy the rest of the day!

Some 🀬 words were uttered.. πŸ˜… 🀣

Typically ill prepared me. I jumped in.. Excuse the pun πŸ˜‰ and just started assembling the rebounder the same evening. Recording started in English and then I continued in Afrikaans sorry.. πŸ˜… 🀣

I did read the manual but this was a mother fluffer of an assignment. Sore hands and lots of swearing but we managed to put it together! πŸ€—
