ONLY DAYS FROM MOVING IN!

Yes! Our shipped goods will/should arrive at the new house on Wednesday!

So...blogging will, once again, take a back seat. All fingers are crossed (which hinders accurate typing even more than a slight excessof grape juice). Did you see what I did there?

Why are the fingers out of normal alignment? The weather, of course! Yesterday, we had some heavy rain and probably hail. We were in the Big Tin Shed hardware store where regular rain sounds like hail , but a woman coming in as we were going out mentioned it. I'm pottering today, doing laundry and hoping to get it dry and packed to be taken to new digs.

You want photos? Yeah, I'd like some, too, but the big camera was on charge all night and I haven't put the battery in yet. I tried a whole raft of new AA batteries for my old camera, but just kept getting a change batteries message, so that's slated for a trip to the camera shop...hopefully a good clean should sort it.

new kitchen (currently doubling as a tool bench...

new bathroom...just about big enough for a house-warming party!

                     The outdoor setting; will scrub-up nicely

                                            
                                        The dining area

Now, I'd better nip out to the greenhouse and make sure my Drunken Woman * is not getting too hot and dry...

                                                      
                          Here she is, looking lush. Not "like
                          a lush."  I wonder who named her?  
"Drunken Woman" lettuce is a slow-to-bolt, Italian heirloom loose-leaf lettuce known for its striking appearance: bright green, ruffled leaves with deep bronze or red-tipped edges, resembling someone with rosy cheeks from drinking.
