A rather exhausting week.

 Goodmorning everybody!

We had yesterday a little bit of snow, just for a short time and certainly here at the coast has disappeared again and now it looks as id we might have a bit of sunshine and guess what? Temperatures, that were around 1 or 0 C daytime, will go up to may be 7 to even 10C middle of the week!! Can you imagine that in January? Just hope weather will not strike back in March or so with freezing temperatures and all not nice things, haha.

Well, Last Monday they started with placing our new windows. I must say it went rather easy, although the sitting room window gave some trouble in removing it( it was still very old way with iron posts and so) but the guys got it out without much damages and the new one was placed and also the new kitchen door and small window, next day they did the smaller window in the bedroom, and did all finishing details. They were with 4, all from the other side of the country, had to drive about 2 2 1/2 hour to get from and back. Might not seem so long for several of you, but here it is already a long time. 

They planned two days on our address and next two days at our nieghbor's. But they changed the plan a little bit and also came finishing with kit etc. on Thursday and Friday. It all looks soooo nice now! And it is a pleasure to open the curtains in the morning and to be able to look through the glass, not having a lot of ondense water on it! We sure did have to suffer a few days(specially the 1st) from the cold, oh my, that was not the best part of it. It already was better when the new windows were in, but still it was very cold inside, the guys had all doors open there was draught and so on, not much to do about that. Then we couldn;t warm it up too much for about two days, had to do with the kit that shouldn;t dry too quickly, with possible reaction it ccould split here and there. But.... already from yesterday on we could make it much more agreable in temperature and we really needed that.

Of course we have still things to do, it will take some days more, we already cleaned away a lot of the dust that you could see everywhere and on everything! Pfew, that really is hopeless. Most of it gone, still have to mop the room, but that's for tomorrow or the days after. We cannot to too much on one day, just to exhausting. Never mind, every day something and it will be done too, just in slower pace. Most annoying is now that we cannot go our to order new window covering, we have a complate lockdown, for sure till end of the month and may be even a bit longer. So we managed to have our old net curtains on the windows. We don;t want to drill yet holes in the plastic frames, so found an other way for now. We first we would like expert advice for possibilities of window covering and types in curtain fastening. 

Gosh we are still feeling rather exhausted from this last week. You don't do too much, but have to wake up at harsh early times(we aren;t used to that anymore LOL), then most of the day you sit a bit, walk a bit around, make some coffee for the working lot, and not enjoying the temperature and after it already the start of a cleaning around. All your normal day rythm is gone, and you have lot of things lying around on not normal place, all that. Next week we will work hard to get all in more or less order again.

That's about all of the content of our week. Looks not really much, but I am glad that is over with and we can go on in more normal rythm again yeah!!!!!

I think I will finish this post now, and take it real easy for the rest of the day. Hopefully have a nice night sleep and have some energy loaded for tomorrow and the next days for some hoovering, mopping, dusting, oh yes, ironing some laudry, etc.etc. etc.

Wishing you all a wonderful week, please stay all safe.

It's good to hear that your new windows are all in. Take your time and all will get done soon enough. With my windows, I put the fixtures on the sides on the wood, or on the wall. You can order new curtains online and have them mailed to you. Well, that's how I do most of my shopping these days.

Enjoy those warmer temperatures while you can. We could use a few of them here. It's already been winter long enough for this old girl. hahaha. You stay safe and be well my friend, hugs and love, Edna B.
