Tuesday


Hi

I really should try to come up with better names for my posts rather than "Tuesday"....but I have nothing....

So yesterday - after spending the day in agony with my back - I went to the Doctor, and I got painkillers - and I should be sent an appointment with a physio - in SIX WEEKS!! If I still have this problem in 6 weeks I'll be really pissed off!  I'm guessing that by the time the appointment comes through I'll need physio on something else!  I am losing patience with all the problems I keep having - I have planter faciitis in my foot - my back is killing - this time last year I had a dodgy back (in a different place).  Anyway - the painkillers are good - so thats a plus...

Me and Andy have just got the annex ready for the next guest - was good of him to help me - invalid that I am....

We just got a review off our last guest - a really good one - it says:

Just lovely. It’s an old house with real character and the annex has been well prepared for guests. Must be the biggest one bedroom apartment I’ve staying in through Airbnb. Working kitchen for those of you who want to cook, not a galley with a micro and a fridge like you usually get. Hosts were just great, lovely people engaging and easy to deal with. Local pub to walk to that’s a great local. It’s kind of out of the way even though you are so close to Taunton. Bedroom and bathroom were great. Definitely a “find”.

I like that one!  All of the reviews have been really good, and its awesome to know that people are enjoying it!

Andy is taking a few days off in July - and we have blocked the dates off so we don't get guests.  I need to ask a neighbour to feed the cats and I need to find somewhere for us to go - hopefully a weird and wacky experience for us to do.  

The weather is really warm today but there is rain too - we are supposed to be getting thunder storms followed by amazing sunshine by the weekend.  Watch this space for BBQ pics! :-)

I dont even know why I am writing this blog today - I don't really have much to say.  Oh....I have almost finished the four poster bed - putting curtains on it....I should have a pic...


It actually cost quite a lot to sort this out - over £200.  New curtains at the windows too to match the bed.  Andy closes all the curtains on the bed - he is aiming for a complete blackout and I'm doing everything I can - but he says bits of light are still coming in from around the window - even with shutters and curtains!  Maybe I should just buy him an eye mask - certainly cheaper! lol.

I'm not sure what to do with myself now...I need a shower - and the gardeners will be here at some point.  

Its nearly 1pm so Andy is going to want food soon. I've decided that food is my enemy.  I spent weeks dieting to lose a few pounds and have put it all back on in less than a week - I haven't even had major food frenzies or anything - just had normal stuff.  Its like I'm constantly fighting a losing battle.  Anyway - I'll make some lunch for Andy then jump in the shower - hopefully out and decent b4 the gardeners turn up because she always wants to nip to the loo!  Hoping they do something good in the garden today as we have made sure all the grass is cut!  Sorry for boring you with this post....I'll leave....
