Windy Monday

 

It is a warm and sunny day with blue skies but the wind is atrocious; it seems to be a constant factor at the moment.  Even with the warmer temperatures we will not be venturing out on our bikes just yet.

 

The electrician is here today to change some wiring so I have escaped to the garden room away from the noise and disruption.  The sliding patio doors are open and I am able to enjoy the fresh air without the wind.  Paul has moved the tubs of daffodils up to the window so that we can see them dancing in the breeze.  I ventured outside earlier to play ball with Rick and check out the new planting.  It was a relief to step inside the warm greenhouse after being buffeted by the wind.



Over the weekend I helped Paul remove the wallpaper from Kat’s room.  It was a horrid job although there is a certain kind of gratification when a whole piece of wet wallpaper slides away from the wall in one piece.  After the electrician completes his work today Paul will be able to finish painting the walls and then I will be able to have some fun dressing the room again.

pretty wallpaper once upon a time but it is time for a change

Just wish this bloody wind would go away.

  1. The Irish sea is about a mile from my house and it's blowing like it only can in the West of wales - at least the sea will be spectacular later. Not sure the dog will want to come though!

    1. Leave the poor dog at home, he might get blown away! Enjoy the waves.

  2. You could be describing the weather we're having here. The wind has been ferocious for the past few days too. I was practically blown over (no mean feat!) when I took Inca for a short walk earlier. Even she was glad to get back indoors.
    Those daffodils look so cheerful.

    1. The wind has now died down to a light breeze but it will probably be back tomorrow.

  3. Sunny and warm this afternoon and a strong breeze. Probably about the same as Lincs.

  5. We've had lots of strong winds too. Today is light wind and this is an improvement. Your daffodils are beautiful and make a very nice display, inside and outside. Great progress on the wallpaper removal. Taking wallpaper down is never easy.

    1. I have but I usually blame the dog for that type of wind.
