Today in three words: #running trainers on.

I can't remember the last time I broke into a trot! I decided to have a steady run in the hills to kick off the first full day of my Spain trip. #fitness #slow #freshair

Today in three words: lasers; curtains; dishwasher.

I got to use my new laser alignment tool to hand new curtains in the living/dining room 😁

The dishwasher was also reseated as it didn't go back in square when I had to adjust some electrics behind it before Christmas.

A good day of DIY 👍

Today in three words: Purdy comes home.

We sent her to stay with family around the corner as she would have hated all the building work. She's still not entirely sure what's going on. Hopefully she will forgive us in a day or two 🤞

The living room has now had three coats of paint and the chandelier, curtains and TV stand are all back in place. It's starting to feel like a home again 🤗

Today in three words: downstairs carpets removed.

It's time to let the boards breathe before they are renovated next week. The only major downside is we have no furniture so it's indoor camping for a couple of weeks 😭
