Closer....

There's not much left to do. The painting is complete. Not as white as I originally thought lol as that was the undercoat. The actual colour is alabaster. A creamy white. With gloss white for all the doors, skirting and architraves. Looks fresh.

Shoulder is better but not good. Still off work. Thankfully I'm driving again this week.

An issue has developed as we are lacking a water meter on the land. Hopefully this will all be resolved quickly as we are hoping to move in very soon.  Have paid the council!! No shortage of things to pay at the moment.  Have also been furniture shopping. Now the living room and my retreat area will have furnishings. Can't wait to buy lamps and things. I've also ordered window furnishings for most of the windows, although they won't be ready in time.

Am so in love with our floors. Have never chosen floor coverings before for a whole house. It looks sensational. This is the vynl that looks like wood, it's amazing and feels beautiful underfoot. Much nicer than tiles or slate.

The drive way, alfresco and washing line areas are done.
