Yes we have had another long weekend here in the UK so I don’t know whether it is Tuesday or Wednesday today!!!  Of course Friday will be here sooner than I think this week and I am racing to catch up with things.  We also had Tuesday off work due to attending a very good friend’s funeral.  DH on Thursday (tomorrow?) is out in the afternoon/evening to commentate on the Beacon Lighting for VE Day.  It is 80 years since the end of the Second World War in Europe so there have been celebrations happening all over the country over the weekend and this week.

DH’s Father was in The Royal Engineers and mine was in the RAF, although he was in the Pacific Theatre so did not come home until VJ Day!  My Grandfather who was 42 in 1939 was actually in a reserved occupation so became an Air Raid Warden and DH’s Grandfather was a farmer so again reserved, but he became a Policeman.  So our families were involved.

Little Man is not very well at the moment so is busy sleeping and drinking lots of water but not eating much.  We are having a family day on Saturday so hoping he will be better by then, although we are not going anywhere just round at theirs.

Over the long weekend DH and I got Eldest’s room painted, brilliant white, and also our main bathroom, brilliant white (!).  We then started making the furniture for Youngest’s room, now the guest room.   We were doing quite well and finished most of it at about 12.00am but DH put the bed together the next day.  The matress is ariving on Friday and i can then make it and put other things in.  We will probably sleep in there at the next long weekend at the end of May, when we are painting our room and dressing room!

That will mean by then that the whole of the upstairs will have been painted and we just then need to do downstairs!!!  We have a few painting jobs to do outside and the garden to do of course, along with the continuing decluttering!  I must say that I am extremely tired today!

I hope you are all having a great week. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
