Trying to Get it Done

This is my first blog post ever!

On Saturday, the carpet layers will be coming to install new carpet and vinyl throughout the house. I am seriously hoping that this will keep the house a lot warmer in Winter, I don't think I could stand it if we spend all this money and it doesn't make a difference. In the mean time I still have to paint all the skirting boards as well as the lounge room, dining and sewing room walls, before the carpet is laid. Thankfully my sister is coming over to help on Thursday. I don't like the house being out of sorts - the fridge and washing machine are on the back verandah (very inconvenient), the sewing room is packed up and in the shed, cos I didn't want the workmen to be touching my sewing stuff, the bookcase is packed up and there are no rugs on the floors so I can paint the skirting boards, which makes the floor really cold.

I planted garlic last weekend. I didn't expect it to star growing yet, but it has poked through the thick layer of mulch - I really hope it survives Winter and that I get a good crop. I planted about 10 bulbs last year and got nothing. I think it was because I planted them in the same bed as peas. This year I have planted them in big pots so fingers are crossed.

Thanks for listening.
