Spit and Polish



Things have been very busy Chez Wendy this summer.

As you know, the winter destroyed our old pool.  It took a long time to get a new one and while we waited, we decided that we really ought to paint the gazebo and re-shingle its roof.

Thank goodness for Barry's abilities. Apart for a cracking good mind, he is one of the most handy men I know.

For the cost of a can of paint and a few bundles of shingles - which are not expensive, at least not in the amount we required - we feel like we got a whole new building!
Took this picture yesterday -
 you can from the tools and wood
he was still fixing the decking around the new pool

The bright white inside makes it so inviting...






We sit out so much these days in the evening - it is the perfect firefly viewing spot!!!!

Well done Barry! 


Did anyone else watch the Wimbledon Men's Finals today?

I was on pins and needles.  I really wanted Federer to win, to be the all-time champion there, but it was not meant to be. But what tennis!!! I love Wimbledon and was so happy to see Serena win yesterday!


Gotta love those action shots, including my crush Benedict posing for a selfie... He really is quite famous for that now...



Tomorrow we are off to my old stomping grounds to see old friends!  I cannot wait!  I have been locked in my office writing for hours each day and I am ready for a break!!!

Have a wonderful Sunday!
