PROJECT H: THIS & THAT 3

THIS area needs attention! It has yet to be attended to in a satisfactory complete way - but the plans began:

1. remove cobwebs and old dead plant.

2. replace plant with plastic container and fresh plant - probably a coriander.

Well, I did remove the old dead plant and pop in a fresh alive coriander.... but forgot about dusting away the cobwebs!

Unfortunately, until the warmer spring season arrives properly, I do not think my idea will work very well - within 2 days of both attempts so far, the coriander has wilted and died. I have saved the tubs to grow beans on my windowsill in, but.... alas, the kitchen looks little better than it did before. Sigh.....

But, at least the dead stuff is green and not brown!

PROJECT H: THIS & THAT 2

This was not acceptable. Noone in the household takes a bath these days, and the plug-chain has no plug on the end anyways. There is a rubber plug if I have a once in a blue moon desire to soak in a bath tub or my father ever manages to climb the stairs again, or we have a guest crash amongst the junk in the storage room.... so this was needing a change.

Alas, not much could be done.... However, I managed to use a pair of pliers and remove the chain itself, re-glue the socket metal in place and then scrub some of the iron rust stains from the bath tub - a tad more bicarbonate of soda and elbow grease was required to remove the rest, but this shot shows the minor improvement.

PROJECT B: PANTRY 3

 

Again, the pantry had a minor turn out and rearrangement - one of my lazy-happy chores. It makes me feel I have done something of value, when I basically have merely moved things around into a more organized fashion and had fun planning menus whilst at it!

PROJECT H: THIS & THAT 1

Towards the close of 2012, I began a few minor projects - not really worthy of their own titled appearance in my blog. Firstly, I was fed up of having damp clothes hanging over a towel rail in my bedroom. I wanted space to lay out my 'bar'...

I therefore decided that as I am the only dweller to dwell on the upper layer of the house, I would shove my towel rail into the upper hallway and free up some space in my room. I can now safely dry clothing that is not quite dry over the towel rail during wet weather without it making my room damp. 

This allowed me to have more room in my bedroom and to lay things out a little neater. My 'bedroom bar' - aka beer and wine stash - now fits neatly alongside my tub of bird seed!

I have yet to remove the large box to the right of the photo, but.....
