What a gorgeous weekend we've had! Saturday we didn't do an awful lot just enjoyed the weather. In the afternoon we mooched off into Bham to the Imax for our hot date to see Start Trek. It was great - I love seeing movies there on the HUUUUUUUGE screen and the seats are far more comfortable for me with my ever increasing belly! We're hoping to go and see Transformers 2 there next month....I'll be even bigger then! (!!!)
Sunday was another gorgeous day so after we'd been and done the shopping we mooched about and started to tidy up the back garden. The bluebells are starting to look rather bedraggled and need to be hacked back before they set seed. So that was yesterdays job. While J was digging over the soon-to-be-new-strawberry-patch I made a start on weeding the herb bed (the little patch in the top-middle of the lawn) and then down the side of the path. It was a rather comical affair if you had been watching me try to find a comfortable position in which to garden! I sometimes forget that I'm pregnant until I feel a kick or can't get comfy and I get tired very quickly too. I used to garden for hours but now can only manage the odd half hour stint before I need a rest on the sofa. Luckily its half term now and the weather for most of the week looks dry so I should be able to pop out and do a little here and there. To celebrate our little gardening achievement and a freshly mown lawn, we had a little bbq :)
Today's job was to get started on the painting in the utility room. It's been a very bright yellow colour since we moved in. I don't have anything against the colour but as this room is soon to be the utility/craft room it needed a change! We've had new cupboards put in in the sink area and some new plain white tiles so that area is looking quite smart. Now all it needs is painting and a new floor. Today's job was to paint it white to get rid of all the yellow! And we did it!!! It's all white and once dry it'll be ready to start painting the nice blue colour we've chosen (the little square on the far wall - above). Here's the view from the other side, looking rather messy! It's so much better just being white! Wednesday I might even manage a coat of blue!
Tonight I have plans to prepare a little sewing for tomorrow. I've had a couple of requests for some of my felt ipod cosies and I'm having a bit of a felt emergency. I've ordered the colour I need (plus some extra lovely ribbon!) and hopefully it will get here soon from the super Sarah! :)
