Sunday 10th May - DIY Disaster

We spent another day sorting out the house. I got Stephen to get the drill charged up as there were blinds and curtains to hang. The blinds were a doddle but the curtains were a complete nightmare! He took down the existing track and I loaded the new (US bought) curtains onto the (US bought) drapery rod… and then we found that the rod wouldn’t happily stay on the supporting hooks when you tried to move the curtains. We bickered throughout the entire operation, and then decided that it wasn’t going to work at all and put the original curtains and track back up!!

Mum made Gran’s recipe “Pot Roast and gravy you can slice” for dinner. It was very tasty and like stepping back in time! It’s probably been 20 years since I last had it – which seemed to be the length of time it took to make it!
