Only very minor, but a cheap light shade which I’ve just fitted in my office means that after 18 months living here I finally have light shades in every room. No more bare bulbs
I still have a shit one in my bedroom that came with the house but I don’t mind it really and most of the time I am in the bedroom the light is off anyway

New garden gate. Paid someone to fit it (the chap who does next doors fencing) as felt it was a bit beyond my competence threshold plus it’s definitely a 2 person job. A lot of money but equally should be 20 years worth of gate. Slightly annoying how they managed it in 90 minutes, if anything it justifies getting someone in as it would have taken me all day and I’d have done it badly. Annoying that one fence post is a bit taller now but will probably just live with it

Yeah, true. Not sure I want to wobble that fence post too much by cutting it down a bit, perhaps I’ll see how much it’s actually annoying me in a monthNot hard to cut it off.

The other fence post to the right is similar height. I was pondering hanging something of the fence posts (a sign saying “welcome to my garden” or something similar)Stick a bit of wood on the other post to make them the same size.

I'm in the process of decorating my bedroom - still at the whole house in chaos stage.
So I've treated myself to 2 of these to cheer myself up.

We spent a small fortune on replacing the 1848 windows and doors and pillasters with lovingly recreated versions in Accoya wood, but with a 21st century-sized letterbox so we can actually have mail bigger than postcards delivered uncrumpled, for the first time in our 28 years here! Excuse the arrows, pinched the pics off the window company's instagram #lazy

That is deeply impressive stewardship. And it looks very nice.

Blimey, that's a lot of windows. Don't want to think about what that cost you!

I've acquired a second-second-hand desk. I love its shape, colour and drawers, and it's more comfortable than my previous desk, which was a card table (photo for comparison). There's some tension at home because I can't part with the card table which now has no use. The new desk will allow me to get a stationary PC. My only annoyance is the knee hole which is too small to accommodate the chair comfortably, I might end up having to cut bits out to make it fit better.
