Lo and behold!
Nov. 29th, 2023 08:11 pm... our rejuvenated bathtub:
Isn't it pretty? Well, it should be; the poor guy worked at it for nearly seven hours(!). And Pinterest even deigned to upload the pic in a normal size, yay!
Of course, we can't use the bath for 24 hours now (we decided to give it another half-day, just to be sure), and we still have to wait until Saturday to see if Louise (the washing machine, partially seen on the left) survived her adventure (=being temporarily moved to the kitchen) undamaged, but the view is still nice, isn't it?
Less nice was the fact that I had to get up two hours earlier than usual, so that we both could perform our morning routine before the techie arrived (he came at 8.30am). OTOH, that fact gave me the chance to write my Christmas cards in the morning and to dig out that Christmas quiet book I had started a year ago and never finished. I got a neat idea for the front cover and nearly finished it. Only one reindeer has to be sewn on and various embellishments (like star-shaped sequins) to add, which I hope to make tomorrow or the day after.
We also had visitors (for all of 5 minutes) in the middle of the chaos: Adrienne dropped by with 3-year-old Abel to pick up her oat milk that she'd forgotten here during her last visit. And I had various phone calls from various friends, with the result that I'll (hopefully) able to exchange my excess sugar that I won't need for margarine that I'll very much need tomorrow, plus I can deliver the Advent calendar into Ilonka's hand on her way to her eldest grandson to fulfil Granny duties. *g*
