Much of the day was spent clearing our upstairs sitting room for Nick to start work on it tomorrow; returning some of the items to the redecorated Garden Room which will be for Flo and Dillon, and finding temporary homes and cupboards for the rest.
I took a break to post https://derrickjknight.com/2022/06/12/a-knights-tale-138-notting-hill-carnival/
This evening we dined on Red Chilli’s excellent takeaway fare. My main course was Tandoori King Prawn Naga; I haven’t kept track of the others, but we shared popadoms, rices, peshwari naans, onion bahjis, and tika poneer. Ian and I drank Cobra, Jackie drank Hoegaarden, and Flo drank elderflower cordial.
I look forward to seeing Nick’s next room transformation!
Ditto Derrick
Thanks a lot, Sheree
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Nick is a prize worth keeping. How many more rooms to redo?
Good artisans are worth their weight in gold
Two more after this, but he may not have time for both this time round. Thanks very much, Pat
YAY for Nick-prep! He will be there soon to continue his magic! I look forward to seeing the next room and it’s progression and completion!
Will Dillon arrive soon? I continue to wish him well and hope things go smoothly to get him to Flo…and a beautiful future there together.
(((HUGS))) ❤️
Thank you very much, Carolyn. All depends on the visa for Dillon. And Ukrainians have priority – a political face-saving policy after all the confusion and delays. X
Oh, I didn’t know this.
I continue to wish Dillon and Flo the very best and that they are together as soon as possible. ❤️
Flo and Dillon will have a lovely room, and we’re all eager to see what happens with the upstairs sitting room.
Thank you very much, Merril
I look forward to seeing what you’re doing in that upstairs sitting room. Is it to the right as you walk up the stairs? Also,out of curiosity, what are popadoms?
Thin fried discs like large flat potato crisps – tasty starters with chutneys. Yes, the sitting room is officially our dressing room – never used as such – with a good view of the garden. Thanks very much, Jan
Lots of preparations and changes!
Thanks very much, Laurie
Shifting stuff is very tedious, especially when you know that you are going to shift it back again. You have my sympathy.
Much appreciated, Tootlepedal
The house is coming along nicely, Derrick and Jackie. I am looking forward to the photo tour!
Thank you so much from us both, Lavinia – especially since your catch-up suggests you are well enough to do it
Feeling better by the day. 🙂
Excellent X
Nick job is keeping busy Derrick ..
Thanks a lot, Ivor
Your house will be lovely when it’s finished. Sounds warming and inviting.
Elderflower cordial? I must try it. I have seen it in one of our health food stores that sell unusual teas, cordials and alike.
I like it, Chrissy. Thank you very much
Looking forward to seeing the completed project.
Thanks very much, Jill
A post without pictures, that’s a first.
Since the early days it probably is, Bridget. Too knackered. 🙂 Thanks very much
😂😂😂
I can imagine the work that has gone into the day. My own sorting tends to be very gradual …
Thanks very much, Anne. That would have been our preference, but all the other rooms are occupied at the moment!
So will Dillon be there soon?
All depends on the visa, Andy. Thanks very much
You’re welcome.
With all this work, I know the results will be outstanding!!
Thanks a lot, GP
I look forward to seeing it all finished.
Thanks very much, Sue
Abbreviated post leaves us in suspense, waiting for the next one.
Thanks very much, Dolly.
Yiu are very welcome, Derrick.
And the work continues 😉
Thanks very much, Ribana
