Work on the house is so slow at the moment. Daithi is working in Galway 3 days a week (about a 4 hour drive away) so all work is taking place at the weekend again!!!!! I didn't think this would happen. I though we would be getting someone in at this stage to do it for us but Daithi is reluctant to let anyone take over :(. Moving in seems so close yet so far. I got Munster Interiors through the post today and I didn't have the heart to open it and look at all the lush houses!
I have started to paint the windows in earnest now, when I get a chance that is. Conor is at preschool 3 mornings a week and I can get one coat on one side of all the downstairs sashes in the time he is away. I love painting them and now I am painting them in upstairs of the house I am starting to get a real sense of the place. I am actually starting to feel like it is our house now and can see us all living in it, relaxing, arguing, cooking, cleaning, playing, although I do look nearly 70 years old in the scenes.... hee hee. It is a very peaceful place and comforting too. My friend, Heather, bought me a lovely Kitchen Design book ('The New Kitchen Planner' by Michael Beasley) which has some great advice about designing a kitchen and has some pull-out cabinets and appliances to shuffle around your own plan. I had to extend the grid by another 5m - it is a big kitchen dining room.... Anyway, thanks Heather....
