The Swan Inn at Swineford

Eating out twice in one day! Lovely tasty home cooked, non microwaved dinners at The Swan which is a mile or so from kelstonmills.
Really nice welcoming pub that sells pickled eggs in cute little tea cups.
As with B and Q earlier today, it is highly recommended.

B and Q view

What a lovely view this is from the cafe at B and Q on the outskirts of Bristol!
It is raised up so you can see on the top of all the shelves and there doesn't seem to be any dusty corners where they put all of the stuff that they don't know what to do with.
For £4 you can get a cappuccino and a breakfast nap and sit on the lovely orange chairs and watch the action. Who needs to go on a safari when you can sit up here in comfort - just had second thoughts about this plan as there are no animals, but hopefully you know what I mean.

Splashing about

Can see these two from the living room window. Not the guy in the rowing boat but the two in wetsuits on the weir.
They don't seem to have a boat, they are just having a lovely time jumping in and out of the water and splashing each other!
Don't think the swans are too impressed as no sign of any of them.

Finished the tiling!

After much effort, I have finished the tiling. Don't look too closely at the picture though as there are lots of finishing off jobs to do.
Off to have an early bath and night as shattered.

Grout and wine party

Due to the issue of still having no tv signal, I have decided to have a grout and wine party. Unfortunately, I am too embarrassed to Invite anyone so it is a solo party, if such a thing exists. Had a major panic as bought a bottle of wine with a cork, but managed to prize it out with a screwdriver - they really do have so many uses.

Handsome handyman

No, no, no - this is a photo of my lovely neighbour who is well over 80 but who works in his garden everyday. I was too embarrassed to get a photo of the handyman who came round to quote for various jobs.
He is more handsome than George Clooney, and as nice as the policeman in Uruguay who helped me out after I got mugged!
Hope his quote isn't too high as I am pretty sure he will get the job.

Ps tiling is going ok.

Tomorrows tiling task

Just finished laying out the floor tiles in the kitchen ready for tomorrows job of starting to lay them. Have hacked off about four inches of plaster from the base of the walls all the way around the room as it was plastered right down to the concrete floor which allows damp to rise.
Also PVAed the floor to provide a seal. Will have to be more careful with my tiling tomorrow as I made sure today to finish at the front door so that I could go straight out and buy the tiles while the floor dried, but it turned out I left my car keys on the stairs.
Quite worried about tomorrow, but think the tiles are quite forgiving.
