Everyone was given an extra bank holiday this weekend - so no work till Wednesday (or Thursday for me, as Wednesday is my day off)! Sam and I started the weekend by repairing the bathroom taps - the basin one needed a refresher kit as we could no longer turn the tap on - knob just went round and round. Pip and Liam will be able to clean their teeth now when they come to stay. Sadly the kitchen tap that Sam replaced in the week is still leaking somewhere and still needs looking at.
Pip and Liam came to stay on Saturday afternoon. We collected them from the station - it's great living so close! Sam and Liam worked on his CV and covering letter and started looking at possible careers. Pip played on the new Pokemon game that Sam had bought her as a Birthday present and forgotten about. We had a nice vegan chilli for supper.
On Sunday Sam, Pip and I took Pixel for a walk on the Downs. It was raining quite heavily and we all got wet and soggy. Liam didn't join us as he had no suitable footwear - he carried on with his covering letter instead. Sam cooked vegetable soup for lunch - which was delicious, then Sam and I set out to mums for Jubilee tea. She had put on a great spread including coronation chicken and rice, sausage rolls, pork pie and her delicious cheese straws. To follow there was either chocolate cake or Victoria sponge as well as strawberry tarts! We all watched the river pageant and then played cards. Pip and Liam made use of the bathroom facilities while we were gone.
On Bank Holiday Monday we all went into Dunstable for a few bits and had a look in Wickes and Homebase at their kitchens before Sam and I make a final decision on the one we will go for. Sam and I have been working on the kitchen for over a week now and are getting close to a final design and price we like! We popped over to feed the bunnies at Charlotte's as her and Ian are away fishing. Pip and Liam went to his parents house this evening and Sam and I had a quiet evening together. We watched the Jubilee concert - which I enjoyed very much.
Tuesday was also wet - the weather has been a bit of a wash out for the Bank Holiday. We chatted with Vickie and Jerry for a while then fed the bunnies again. Sam also managed to replace the washers in the bath - it took a bit of work but the tap has stopped dripping now yay - it has dripped all the time we have lived here and the bottom of the bath had got furred up. I used some elbow grease and limelight to clean it up. We worked a little more on the kitchen design - we have decided on an Ikea kitchen as it gives us what we want at a reasonable price. Sam played xbox while I cooked fish and chips for dinner. Quiet evening watching a film then bed - ready for Sam back to work tomorrow.
