Deliveries and Workmen

I woke early and started around the house, the washing done, I once again tried to get the washing line up but without managing again, I waited for the delivery man to arrive whilst having a lovely conversation with Dina over the phone, just about 20 mins into the conversation and a gentleman arrived at the gate, but not the one I was expecting, it was the carpenter and Itzhak, I now have a three door cupboard covering the utility area which contains the washer and dryer and all the other things you hide away in a utility area.

It was after 12 before they were finished, but on the promise they will be back on Sunday to finish off the outer edges, and Itzhak has even enlisted the guy to help me hang my pictures on the walls, delighted, especially as the walls are all concrete. My Beloved asked if he hung wall lights??? chancer. I left the apartment toot sweet as the shops were only open till 2pm and I needed food and bits and pieces before they closed.  The supermarket was a little manic, as was the wine store, my favourite store in Haifa by the way, wall to ceiling wine and alcohol, shapes, sizes, colours they have drink of every description, so I purchased a few bottles for the fridge and headed to the other stores I needed, first stop the florist.  My Beloved has it in his head he needs a Yucca so I asked the lovely man so order me two, he mentioned that they are generally on sale around Christmas time and I'd missed that but he would do his best if I gave him a week.  Next stop card shop, dang too late 2pm had been and gone and so had the shopkeeper, never mind I would have to make do with a make shift card for My Beloved.

I dragged my trolley back to the apartment although I will be glad when our second door is built cos dragging that thing up the steps was a chore and a half, although had I removed the wine it probably would have been easier. Oh yeah I forgot Itzhak informed me the intercom system for the door is getting sorted on Monday, hooray but personally I would really like the other front door finished lol just kidding its lovely walking through the garden, just not up the stairs with a trolley full of wine.

I spent the after noon emptying more boxes and actually throwing a few things out the 20 million bottles of perfume are now housed, and the jewellery is hung as it was in Turriff, back of the door on my coat hook.  Next on the agenda supper, I decided to do my usual and bastardise some chicken with the goodies I had bought shallots, glass noodles, chestnuts and coriander, ewwww the smell around the house was lush, I put the lovely dish in the oven, the big old faithful blue pot Lesley had bought us was used, now this is the never ending pot, I still have not filled it for a meal yet, its huge, reminds me of Mary Poppins handbag.

My Beloved was seriously late tonight, trouble at MILL so I had plenty of time to potter around and get organised, Lou Lou called for a bit of facetime and we chatted away until My Beloved walked up the garden path.  Supper was lush, for something I threw together is was pretty damned tasty. We spent a lovely evening around the house, organising the things we are going to do tomorrow and just enjoying the house and our surroundings.
