The past hot hot week, 24.7.21.

 Started off this month with all good intentions to post a bit more often, but hadn't counted on the weather and its been too hot to get out much, partly with my hayfever and partly with pepe's long hair, he's really struggled with the heat. 

Quite a while back I had a water leak in the bathroom and it came though the ceiling in the kitchen, Son John repaired the leak and this week finally got round to find a slot in his work load to clad the kitchen ceiling, and it was certainly worth the wait , has he has done his usual great job!

Before the refurbishment.

Now!, what a difference, New LED lighting too.

I've stripped off the old border , going to change the colour of the paint on the walls after I've Caulked the edges where ceiling meets walls, but its been too hot to do much this past week.

Cupboard doors will be given a rub down and re-varnished.

Did another little job this week, this is the stable door into the kitchen, where Pepe sleeps at night. the door doesn't match the posh ceiling so the last jigsaw I did was just the right size to fit.

This is what the door looks like now with a Chinese theme picture!. 

Some of the jigsaws from the charity shop recently, a you can see the top one is the one I used on the kitchen door.

Pear Mill Café this week saw Jean and Peter G with these teapots and doggie cruets, always get a change there.

I always look round at the stalls for anything that catches my fancy and saw this unusual plant top holder, its stood on the decorating trestle until I get round to spraying it satin black to match the wrought iron staircase you can see in the background.

Thought it would go nice with the staircase with a nice plant in that will stand the dark hall.

Over at the ressers the new goslings are doing well.

Bit bigger than the pigeons now.

Saw these cute Mallard ducklings yesterday, first I've seen on the ressers this year.

Proud Mum, has eight chicks.

This week saw the moon in this reddish colour, perhaps something to do with the heat, that's some cloud drifting across.

Saw Kate and Wills on the TV the other day at St Andrews and remembered that's where they went to university, whilst on holiday there a few years back saw this Café just down the high street with this sign in the window!, can't get much better advertisement than that can you!. 

Bought this water gun from Lidl the other day to keep the cats off the bird feeders, they are certainly not too frightened by Pepe!.

Cooler today so might get round to doing a few more jobs now, watch this space!.
