One Two Three Four Five Six
Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick
Today is 21st June, summer solstice, the longest day in the year. It's also the day I joined Steem Hive six years ago. Even though I hadn't planned on posting anything these couple of weeks, I felt I couldn't let this day slip by quietly.
I'm swamped these few weeks due to moving, here are a few random photos on what I've been busy with. We got our new place the other week, and we got a nice garden!!! Now I can finally have a go at growing some things properly. Hive Garden, you might see a lot more of me soon!
Some of you may recognise these chairs which I used in my HPUD Guessing Contest earlier this month. Hubby started polishing the chrome frame today and they make such a big difference. On the chair on the right, you can just about see the seat's reflection in the frame, whereas you can't see anything on the left hand one which he hasn't polished yet. I then cleaned the same chair, it took me quite a while as I had to do it with a toothbrush and had to be careful not to brush too hard or to use too much water. With all the dirt and grime gone, the difference is really obvious, and I'm feeling quite chuffed. One down, three to go.
We've had to buy nearly all the furniture for the house, but luckily my sister gifted us a sofa bed. That will come in handy when we have visitors, plus it saves us some money!! It came all dismantled and we were busy putting it all back together yesterday, as well as lots of other Ikea furniture.
My favorite room in the whole house is a 1m x 1m storage room. Yes, I know it sounds a bit daft. I always wanted a walk in pantry to store my groceries and this will be perfect for it. They're so cool. Recently I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos about how people organize their pantries. It's really quite fascinating. I've bought two racks from Ikea to form an L shape and still have enough space for me to move around. Can't wait to get it all set up and fill it with my groceries.
That's all we did so far. Oh! We also ordered a wood TV table from Etsy the other week. Yesterday Etsy messaged us to say that particular shop is no longer operating and if we have any problems with our order to let them know immediately. The table was delivered today and after we assembled it, we noticed the finishing was really bad. There are three frames supporting two shelves but the fit is really bad. We immediately messaged Etsy to ask for a refund and return. I think they must have had a lot of problems with this shop as they didn't ask any questions and within a few hours we got our refund back. They didn't even ask us to return the TV table! So now we have a free table which we're going to put in the garage to store junk 😉
