My computer cave has been squashed up into a corner, shut down and put into hibernation. The sash and case windows that have served the house for a hundred years and then some need replacing. The breeze that comes in from the tiniest of cracks is unreal, and has been known to tickle the goosebumps. The dust on top of the books on the top shelf is unnatural and can only be caused by particles drifted through the house on the breeze.
We’ve had some windows replaced before, a gradual process as we work through the house, save the money and pick of the rooms that need it most. It’s an upheaval, workmen in the house, banging, shouting, grunting and dust where the house is opened to the elements as the old windows are removed back to the stone.
So the weekend coffee share is one of carnage as we put rooms back together, the hoover doing overtime, soapy water and a clothe to clinch the final deal.
The coffee is a welcome break, and I thank you for stopping by, we discuss the black Friday offers….and they can make one black with the hunt.
Food wise, if you’re looking for a chocolate pudding……this one is a keeper Chocolate Tahini and Banana Pudding from Nigella. It’s a welcome highlight to the day after all the cleaning and If there were any left I’d share some!
The #WeekendCoffeeShare is an informal weekly link-up hosted by Eclectic Alli that serves as weekly heart beat and sort of of a mind-dump. Helps me reflect on my week, with a list of achievements, thoughts and rambles normally whilst drinking a beverage probably listening to music.
I had a similar experience many years ago when I was replacing the carpet in my then-home with tile. Everything had to be moved, put out of the way, and covered with sheets of plastic to avoid tile dust getting into everything. Your new window will be totally worth the annoyance though.
Carpets are really hard, especially for multiple rooms. Like you say worth it in the end.
Window replacements are wise investments. Soon you’ll get your rooms back and won’t have to go through this again for a long, long time.
What a funny picture! I’m glad you captured the moment. It’s definitely photo-worthy. Also, I glanced at the recipe which looks very delicious 🙂
