curiouswombatIt is a calm still evening, but the forecast is for it to be blowing a hoolie by the morning. D-d was due to sail on the boat tomorrow morning to go back to York. I noticed by mid-day today that they had already cancelled Sunday's sailings, and pointed it out to her.
She kept an eye on the website, and sure enough, about 1pm they announced that tomorrow's sailings would also be cancelled - but they were squeezing in an extra sailing at 5pm this evening. So she rang the Steam Packet and got onto that sailing, dashed out for lunch with friends, home and got packed, and made it in time for this extra sailing.
She rang to say that it had been a lovely calm crossing, the boat was not busy, and her train connections work so well that she will be in York by about 11.15pm. She wonders if they could run a fastcraft sailing to Heysham every Friday...
Remember the bathroom project? Well I've just been up and taken a few pictures, so that you can see that there is nice white and silver paper, not red, blue and/or purple, with or without spiky bits...
Note nice white grouting - and grout whitener still in the basket on the shelves...!
The shower curtain I bought about a year ago to go with the wallpaper...
Nice white paintwork around the window, courtesy of S2C.

Is a picture showing why it took a while to put the Christmas decorations away - the usual assistant!

Date: 10/01/2009 12:15 am (UTC)Sympathy for Dd on the possibility of rough crossings. I've done that a few time going to/from the San Juans or Victoria-- and that's just Puget Sound not the north Atlantic!

Date: 10/01/2009 11:08 am (UTC)Yuleaholic is a perfect description of Shaka.

Date: 10/01/2009 07:14 am (UTC)I love the shower curtain--looks a bit pop art. White always makes things look larger and cleaner. It's refreshing.
Cats can curl up on anything!
no subject
Date: 10/01/2009 11:21 am (UTC)The shower curtain has a pattern of silver bubbles on it. When we first moved in we had a glass partition, but we kept knocking ourselves on it both when showering and when sitting on the toilet ( which is too close to the bath, really) - so we went back to an old fashioned shower curtain. Which lets you ring the changes with decor very easily as well - when we want a change I can get a coloured one.

Date: 10/01/2009 08:34 am (UTC)I like the green with the white/silver - is that a blind behind the towels?
Heee - cats and stuff to sit on/in - it's inevitable isn't it! LOL!
no subject
Date: 10/01/2009 11:27 am (UTC)That is, indeed, a blind which is really a very similar colour to the accent tiles. the floor is much the same colour as well. So the effect of the white walls is not too clinical.
The cat has now retired to D-d's bed, complaining about a lack of tinsel, lack of person, and lack of sunshine.

Date: 10/01/2009 06:15 pm (UTC)I realise that there is not actually a picture of the bath, in those shots! It is pretty big, pretty deep, with dark wood panelling.
