it just doesn't end

im working hard at sealing our home from spiders. the only thing i feel bad about is that i’ve been so slow at it. and ignored a couple of small spots. but i am ON IT. so far i’ve not seen a single animal inside the flat, no moths, no silverfish, no ants, no rats (lol).  but it’s the spiders i can’ tolerate.

there are so many things to do though. the list does not get shorter. 

hmm im looking at soap workshops (just for the experience) and the other day had avocado toast for brunch, after which we went to the park for a walk with doctor - its all very middle class hipster something...? oh well. things are just pretty good i guess.

last sunday i noticed the church opposite to us is ringing bells at  9:50. does that happen every sunday and i just didnt notice? was it a special sunday?

i had my eyes on this highboard cabinet but now its discontinued and not available anymore.very unhappy. have to start looking all over again.

we managed to hang the living room light fixtures finally. the cables need a bit of adjustment cos they look 'wrinkly', and we need to cover the projector  cables...so its like, you do one thing and then theres another thing... and thats why the list of stuff does not get shorter i guess. 


4 kitchen shelves. i took time in finding 4 different but sort of matching shelves and then we put them at different heights. the thing is that shelves in that narrow kitchen are not ideal so if we must have them, lets try make something of it.

we decided to do a mini getaway, leaving home before noon yesterday and returning today at noon (doctor had tickets to a shakespeare play or something at 1). so we had brunch out, then went to Kew Gardens to admire the greenhouses and eveything, an then headed to Hammersmith for a turkish dinner and then stayed a hotel near there for the night. just to get out of the house and get some distance to all the home design stuff.

we definitely need to return to Kew Gardens sometime, we only covered like 20% of it, there are so many different areas its a full day thing...  the entrance fee is a turn off but doctor gets in free cos they offer that to emergency service personnel. if only i pay (13.50) , i think its okay to go a few times, otherwise i'd be turned off to be honest. not saying it isnt worth it, but. there was a posh cafe where we had traditional english afternoon tea. im not a tea person but that was some good tea. velvety.
