  • Hello all who've arrived since I popped in.  image

    Washing in machine as we're promised a dry day ... next job is to sort out the airing cupboard image  then I shall go to Dunelm ... we need some more cushion pads ... these are getting a bit flat and if more sofa naps are likely to happen we need to be comfy ...

    Enjoy the sunshine Liri.  Hope it's a good trip.   

    Sunshine has now broken through and broken up the cloud which now looks more like a shoal of fish with silver backs and dark bellies.   Swimming upside down?

    Dove - I find feather cushion pads don't flatten and can be easily refreshed for heavy winter duties with a quick wash and a tumble in a dryer if needed.  Taht said, I do need to go to the fabric shop at Olonne that sells ready cut foam pads for dining and garden chair seats.  Need a set for the dining room chairs I'm renovating.   The previous owners left a full, extendable oak table and 6 chairs in what will become the party barn and I've decided its corner legs are more practical than our own which is very solid Belgian oak with a pedestal support with spreaders that are carefully designed to crash with the chair feet.    It all needs a good wash down and then a good feed to bring it back to life after a year or more out in the open barn.

  • I know Obs ... but feathers will have OH unable to breathe image  Not a good result.  We have to go for the polywhatever stuff.

    Yes, that is a consideration.  I have a whole set of poly-filled pillows in case we have guests with allergy problems but they just have to cope with dogs and cats..

    Hi all.

    Glorious sunny day here, lots of cuttings to pot on today.

    Need to order some Euros for holiday, the exchange rate is terrible.

    I have to admit, that sofa naps are a regular part of life for me.

    pdoc - I believe M&S and the Post Office give the best exchange rates and you can also use the hole in the wall with your Maestro card if you fall short of cash.
