Sink or swim

It was a tough start this morning, I don’t know why, but I had woken early around 6am – apologies to those who got an early email or WhatsApp from me – and needed to get some ‘stuff’ done. Brian made some tea and we chatted about the day ahead, then we both fell back to sleep, and didn’t wake again until 8.45am. Oh well, only a week in. Think we are allowed a sleep-in.

Brian needed to get the cabinets sorted to go on the walls, which he soon had done. My job was to paint the ironwork support for the stone sink. Now, I know it doesn’t look like it, but I did paint most of it.

I’m excited about seeing this come together in the kitchen tomorrow. The stand was one we found in the old bathroom when we bought the house. It held a very old cistern on the wall. The stone sink was an eBay purchase, which just happened to be collection only 20 minutes from my parents house in Norfolk. I think we paid about £15 for it. The stainless steel sink in the picture is the one we took out of the kitchen in January. We may reuse this in the pool room. You can just see a corner of the stone sink, I will reveal the final look hopefully tomorrow. Anyway, no time for a swim today.

I’d bought a couple of quiches from my favourite Boulanger today. We had them for dinner with a simple salad, which tasted delicious, in fact Brian, who doesn’t eat salad, told me he really enjoyed it. So fresh. The bottle of Pouilly-Fuissé washed it down very nicely.
