We ran out of wine yesterday. Apart from the ritual bottle of champers sitting in the fridge waiting for the declaration of a rainy day, that is. And it wasn’t a rainy day at all, just a bit grey with greasy sun intervals.
Graham’s been taking an extra glass each evening, you see, so my calculations haven’t worked out this week.
So, shortly after six yesterday evening, an hour after sundown, we downed tools and went over to Tesco’s in Neath Abbey.
“This is going to make dinner rather late,” I said in my best melancholic tones as we passed through Cadoxton on the way there.
“We could always pick up something quick and easy while we’re there.”
“That’s a good idea. How about something nice with chips?”
“You’re not having chips. You’re on a diet.”
“Oh. Sorry. Thought you might have forgotten, what with all the sawing and fixing of chipboard you’ve done today.”
“Well, I haven’t. And neither should you.”
“Right-o. I’ll go for something along the lines of chicken breast in a light chasseur sauce then. With boiled potatoes.”
“That’s more like.”
So that is what we did. Or I did. Either way we finished off the bottle of Italian chardonnay we found at a good price and Graham wiped his plate clean at the end of the meal.
“Was that alright, then?” I asked.
“Not bad at all. What’s for dessert?”
“Lemon tartine.”
“Yummity.”
With added chipboard
An added chipboard!!! Suspense is growing …
How exciting! Can’t wait for the finished product.Maybe it’s for a surround sound cine system…………hmmm I wonder?..tee hee!
Ah ha! I think you’re going to put a small fire place in the bottom (hole) and a flat screen tv above it, eh???
Hey – it’s a guess! lol
Well whatever you are building when you get around to removing the carpet it may cause extra work to get it out there. LOL
I need Graham to remind me of what I am not to eat. Of course that would be a constant nag I’m afraid.
Bonnie, I had thought that about the carpet, but if you’ll look really closely, you’ll see that the carpet has been cut away from around the “legs.” I missed it at first, too, because Graham does such exceedingly tidy work. It might show just a little better in yesterday’s picture.
I really, really want it to be a dumbwaiter (just never mind that there might not be need for one).
Yes I agree…..perhaps a built in flat screen? A fireplace? George also thinks fireplace.
Hmmm. This is really getting innerestin’. I’m inclined to think along the lines of a fireplace insert, too. The electrical kind. But now I’m wondering about the eventual placement of those two pieces propped against the wall at the far end of the shelf. Where will they fit?
I just love watching your decorations go up. It’s almost better than TV!
A fish tank for Dolly!!
Wendy, remember John saying they were going to put polished cork flooring down?
Although, Marty, a fish tank would fit perfectly, eh?
