28Th May 2009

This morning was one of those difficult mornings to arise and shine. Last night Johnny finished laying the section of slate on the lounge floor, I was the apprentice of course! Vacuuming up the dust and cleaning off the tiles that were lying in the garage for the longest time. The reason we had a section of untiled floor was because Paul the previous owner had a very beautiful bookshelf running from the top of the wall to the bottom in the lounge. I had admired it the first time I’d seen it. Unbeknown to us Paul was plotting on taking it out. Hey, thanks Paul! None the less with it gone the bare cement remained. An eyesore to me on a daily basis I must add. I’m grateful that he left the excess slate in the garage for us to use though. This is no longer an eyesore though, as my very talented and determined man has sorted it out. It is incredible how just seeing the lounge come together has caused my spirits to rise. I stood back and looked at the lounge. We are enjoying the sense of accomplishment immensely and are so excited to move onto the next item on the list. In fact so much so I had a problem summoning the sandman yet again. My head was swimming with ideas and as I lay in bed I shared my thoughts with Johnny. I received um, and yes, um and yes and then suddenly there was no response to my list of ideas anymore. He was sound asleep, a place I longed for right then. Of course my late night antic’s had an adverse affect on my morning routine. But that’s a story for tomorrow….
