Thank you so much for your kind admiration of our hall. I would like to take full credit for it since I had the idea of knocking down that bit of wall. However, I have to admit that ... umm ... I didn't have any practical input. Stevie and George did the building, Mr Life did the decorating and the floor chaps put the floor down. I supplied encouragement and cups of tea and afterwards did a bit of dusting. I also found the spare wallpaper, forgotten in a cupboard, which meant that we could make the remaining bit of wall match the rest of the hall without having to redo the whole lot. (It's a sort of blue-ish green, Lynley.)
Today is Mr Life's 65th birthday (yes, hasn't he worn well? it's the way I've pampered him over the years). He got a watch and some railway books and Grandson got a sandpit.
You can see by his hooded top and corduroy trousers that it wasn't exactly blazing hot summer weather.
The sandpit has a roof to keep the sun off him...
... or as the case may be, the rain.
Happy Birthday to Mr Life. Maybe Grandson will let him play in his sandbox.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful sandpit! Happy Birthday Mr Life.
ReplyDeleteClever sandpit. Ready for all eventualities on the summer front! Happy Birthday to all, birthday or no!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Mr Life! I rather fancy that sandpit. Perfect, with a roof! And the hall? Splendid.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mr. Life! Isn't it amazing that grandchildren (and nieces and nephews) get gifts too? I sent my brother a gift and by darn, if there wasn't one in there for a certain little girl. I don't know how it got there - because why would I send his daughter a gift on his birthday? The birthday fairy must have gotten confused. (No, he didn't buy it either.)
ReplyDeleteOAP? I'm guessing here ---Old Ancient Person? Happy Birthday OAP! They say life brings us in a circle. Hope you have the knees to get down and play in that sandpit! And I have to say, based on weather reports from My Man In England, the idea of a sunroof on a Scottish sandbox made me chortle!
ReplyDeleteOld age pensioner, Molly. We'll be rich... or not.
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Birthday Mr. Life! And what a lucky guy to be pampered by such a marvelous woman! Perhaps a larger sand pit just for you? It's the secret to staying young. Grandson looks positively happy!
