Hayley took delivery of her baby on Saturday - her handmade kitchen Island, which has been on order since May.
I spent the weekend screwing it together, putting on the handles and knobs, putting on the oak worktop and oiling the worktop. Don't know if you've ever oiled a kitchen worktop with 3 cats in the house, but at times it looked like cat flypaper.
Now just to hope that it doesn't adversely affect the under floor heating. There is a floor gap all the way round, so there shouldn't be a problem.
Obviously all the drawers and cupboards in the kitchen had to be rearranged, with the consequence that No.2 Son and myself are wandering around the kitchen looking as if we have Alzheimer's and can't find anything.
Had occasion to go into Waitrose on Sunday - didn't have time to get to Lidl - and spotted the following:
Celery - 58 pence. Expensive, but a necessity for Sunday dinner.
My eyes then alighted on celery hearts at £1.45 for half the amount of the full celery stalks that are sold for 58 pence. Has the British housewife gone stark raving mad? It's not even as it the whole celery doesn't have hearts. Waitrose charge nearly 3 times as much for celery hearts!
