End of the week

What a day; I've just sat down after watching Gremlins with Rosie, while eating pizza on the sofa, and then reading a long book and getting her to bed and doing the washing up! Let's get to it as it is late already

Finally found some roses for Rosie

After dropping Rosie at school today I dashed into town to get some dog food and those pizza we just ate and while I was there I finally found some rose bushes for Rosie's school. Success! When I got back the men were already in and working, doing the absolute last bits of plastering on the stairs. With this done they set to cleaning and sweeping up the main floor of the roof space. Then they were into doing some more mortar on the bottom half of the stairs and also on the sub landing, which they completed today. Halil also swept through again and made everything clean ready for Monday when they will start doing the final mortar over the entire floor prior to carpeting.

When I collected Rosie the director of the school was waiting for me to plant the rose, as Angela had got in touch for me to let her know I'd finally found one. Rosie had great fun planting it, and we had lots of pictures taken, then we went for a swing again in the playground (lots of her friends were around all very happy to see her) before a quick slide then home. It really was a warm day today, summer is hanging on here. We did some chores in garden (I removed the last of the tomatoes and the melon plants) and I pushed Rosie on the swing again and then it was into pizza/film/bed time.

So there it is. That's the week done. Thanks for reading and I'll be back on Monday.
