Peace, wine, garden

20120916-193228.jpg

So you find me dear reader, comfortably ensconced with a glass of wine (St Clair Sav Blanc), some olives, and opera in the background.

I feel piously exhausted having rowed and then gardened all day.

Proper gardening today in addition to hours of weeding our “vacant lot” inspired verge.

Yes. Plants and everything planted.

So I’m tired and bone weary.

My daughter is at work, my son at college, my husband on a work trip in South Africa.

The wine is helping.

Since The groovy one left last night of course things are falling apart.

The drinks fridge, a temperamental old thing at the best of times on a permanent lean, decided to short out the power.

I decided that what she needed was a good defrost.

So as I sit here on my decking, sipping my wine, occasionally I hear a crash as another lump of ice falls to the ground.

The wine is fine though so life is good.

A foolproof way to get Blu-Tack off a painted wall

Honestly, can there be anything more satisfying than a heavy thick drill in your hands as you shudder your way to making a hole in an up till then smooth blemishless surface.

No. There isn’t.

Today I have been a handywoman. I’ve been to the hardware store TWICE. Here are my projects.

The first to hang a pin-up board over the mess my daughter had made of her wall STICKING – with GLUE – pictures on it.

Pin Up Board

The second project was brought about because of the gas crisis and the need to save electricity in the home. Okay. And the dryer broke.

The Washing Line
Forgive the crappy photo 🙂

So now to the reason you’ve made it this far – the way I discovered to get rid of Blu-Tack…

Blu-Tack Solution

So I was rubbing the pencil marks that I’d made to drill the holes in the right places when I was putting up the pin-up board with an ordinary plastic eraser – the kind kids get at school – and I saw that my naughty daughter had also tried to put up posters with the tacky stuff. So I rubbed the eraser over the Blu-Tack marks and OMG they came off a treat!

A bonus for me after all my hard work.

From bar to e-nook in one generation

Today the Sunday paper’s real estate section taught me that areas like the one we have our computers in is no longer a “bar” but an “e-nook”.

Here’s me in my e-nook:

In my e-nook

As you might be able to tell in this photo – waaay back in 1977 when our house was built, complete with exposed beams, chocolate coloured metal window frames and hanging garden in the entry – it was a bar.

My e-nook

In just one generation we’ve turned our repository for alcohol into an office. Our beer fridge is now relegated to the laundry.

Already laptops and mobiles, playstations and PDA’s are seeing the need for the e-nook disappear. Add to that fridges with computers in them and surely it can’t be long before the only thing left is a lonely printer – and a wireless hub.

Perhaps the e-nook will become the e-cupboard or even the e-drawer?

Certainly we are seeing in our house the development of an e-breakfast bar.

What are you seeing in your house?

Oh yeah

Forgot to tell you… at the end of that horror day (paint/fire etc), I stood on one of my director’s chairs to force the glory vine back onto the pergola and the seat split and I twisted my ankle (not badly).

But the good news is I confronted my pool guy today about taking my chlorinator in for testing (when I didn’t ask for it), giving me a quote for an EXORBITANT amount of money – the part a lot cheaper when I checked on the internet – and leaving my pool without any chlorine on the hottest weekend of the season.

My pool is now green but the chlorinator is back – sure not working brilliantly, but back – and they threw in some extra chlorine as well.

Ahhhhh. That feels better now.

Pottering

Last weekend I bowed to commercial pressure and bought the new Harry Potter book. Finished it Sunday night. What was it like? It was a Harry Potter book. Better than 5 I thought. I’ve always said 5 needed a better editor and I think JK agrees – according to an interview I read somewhere she said it was a bit long.

So yeah – I liked it. Who dies?

Back at work properly now. And it felt good to have a proper defined role and to finally unpack my boxes. All that means that today is the first day of my proper weekend. It feels weird to have a weekend in the middle of the week but at the same time it allows me to potter about getting my washing sorted and looking at lighting/paint/carpet etc.

Today I have to design a breakfast bar, take my library books back, pay a couple of bills… oh and have lunch with Melissa. Tough eh?
