Hello!
I thought it was time for an update which is outside reading. We’ve been quite quiet since Christmas as we have been back at work and trying to do work on the house but we have managed a few little adventures.
Walking
I have really got back into my walking recently and I just love been outside. I do a few sessions a week on the treadmill but mainly I try to get outside as I find a walk outside really helps my mental health and helps me sleep better. My husband and myself are still trying to finish the last Lord of the Rings medal on the Conqueror Challenge but it taking a very long time. I really want to finish it because I have a big list of medals I want to earn next.



Library
The outside of the house is now basically finished so we are really cracking on with the inside now. The room we have planned for the library needs quite a bit of work as we have found a few horrors since stripping the wallpaper off the walls (the problem with old houses). We also had to remove a sink from the room and deal with a large hole in the wall. This week my husband filled in the hole and now I can finish stripping that wall of wallpaper. The next thing we need to sort is the electrics as we need the sockets moving to fit around all the shelving we have planned. I will post pictures when it stops looking like a horror story!
Dinning Out
Last week was half term and I took the week off teaching so we decided to go out for a treat. We had a meal at a lovely restaurant which is quite close to our house and the food was amazing. We will definitely be going back. We’ve also had a few lunches out as well.



So there are our few little adventures. We are really looking forward to the National Trust places opening up fully again but the main thing at the moment is pushing forward with the library so all my lovely books can have a proper home.
Happy Reading



That meal looks amazing and I can’t wait to see pictures of your library when it’s finished

Good luck on the library work. I’m hoping the work on mine will be able to start soon, but it’s taking so long just to get a quote for the work, then I have to submit a consent application to the council so it could be May before work can even start

Thank you. Our house was built in 1784 and we keep finding nightmares whenever we start work on a room so each room takes ages. I hope your library goes well.

At least you have an excuse. Each room just takes ages for me because I am weak (literally, I really need to do some weight-work), often can’t be bothered, and am still just learning how to do it all myself 🤣
