Had my first ever visit to the Emirates to watch Arsenal Women at the weekend. The 1-1 draw was disappointing, but it was a great day out!

There’s a reason the saying, “a picture is worth a thousand words,” has stood the test of time.

It has taken a little longer than we anticipated, but we are there with our new bathroom! Really happy with how it’s all turned out!

Good progress from the builders today on the bathroom wall tiling. They’re aiming to finish the tiling tomorrow. I’d hoped everything would be wrapped up by then, but it’s looking more like early next week now.

The bathroom floor is down. You never quite know how something is going to look when picking tiles, but I love how this has turned out.

🏉 Adam Radwan joining Leicester Tigers with immediate effect is fantastic news! He’ll definitely help us rack up more points, but I’m not sure he’s the answer to our recent defensive woes…

Most of the ground work and preparation for reconfiguring the new bathroom is done. And the new bath is now in! Should all start coming together next week with tiling and remaining fixtures and fittings. We’re getting there!

Needed to walk to Lidl to get a few items at lunchtime. I’m glad I popped out as it was stunning!

We have a new bathroom! It’s just currently all stacked up in a family room. Excited to see it start to come together more in the coming days though.

Day one of our bathroom do-over. It’s going to be a challenging few weeks while the work is done, but I’m excited by the prospect of a new bathroom when it’s complete.

Finished listening to ‘The Life Impossible’ by Matt Haig driving back from London. This was an interesting book, but it never truly grabbed me. I did finish it, but if I’d given up on it—which I did consider—I don’t think I’d have been that bothered. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Started reading Sally Rooney’s new novel ‘Intermezzo’ a couple of nights ago. She writes in such an interesting way and explores relationships from such a distinct perspective. Barely 50 pages in, but I’m engrossed.
