Days 207-212 - Colour Theory, Bits, and Bobs YouTube video by Tania Jennings

This was a busy week, so didn't always feel like we were accomplishing much, but the planning days/weeks are also important. We've been working on garden designs and paint schemes while we didn't have the energy to do the physical work.

A very busy week for @andyjennings314.bsky.social and I this week, taking a big step forward in having an actual bedroom (and not just a bed in the living room)!

We pulled off a wee Thanksgiving meal for ourselves and had some more electrical work done (hopefully the last for a while that we can't sort ourselves).

The bug hotel is finally built! Unfortunately I overdid it this weekend and was super sick again today, but on antibiotics now and hoping to be all healed up before my 50th, so all of our party guests can help fill in the cubbies! #BugHotel #ThatRetrofitLife #BiodiversityNetGain

There was more than a little silliness today, but also some major successes. Just a fabulous day. Not pictured, me holding the ladder for @andyjennings314.bsky.social for at least an hour, haha!

Day 65 - Britain's Laziest Gardener YouTube video by Tania Jennings

Plans get derailed by the arrival of our lilac tree and my new earth rammer, so it's another day in the garden, though I'm not sure everyone gardens like this. Even @andyjennings314.bsky.social was bewildered.

Some days, you're the bug. Today was a hard day of things not going right, but we had some great help, plenty of plasters on hand, and the camera wasn't rolling when a giant spider tried to kill me (you're welcome).

We're 3 weeks into our retrofit and running out of money (which always happens), so getting to the hard work stage where we'll be doing most things ourselves. This could get messy. #ThatRetrofitLife #UKRetrofit #WhoseBrightIdeaWasThis #LivingInABuildingSite
