Coffee Break sketch......28th Nov.

I have been sketching during the coffee breaks but just haven't got round to adding them. So here's one from a few days ago. 

In December the Countdown to Christmas will return. A shorter version this year as the new house and the decorating has taken over.

Coffee Break sketch...... 14th Nov.

Coffee the main reason I function a lot of the time! 😁 

After work yesterday, it was back to getting the house ready for Christmas. I have given myself a date of the last Sunday in November as this is the date I would like the Christmas  decorations to go up and the time to down tools and enjoy the season.

What kind of SOB would woodchip over woodchip! The main bedroom is taking longer than had hoped, as in someone's wisdom, this was their idea of home improvements!

Anyways, today is a new day, my son is sitting with me and I have a pot of coffee ready. So let's do it all over again......

Coffee Break Sketch......13th Nov.

I haven't had much up on the blog recently, with being off work the other, I was normally either looking after Finley or decorating the house while drinking coffee. Then when I was back to work last week, it was a case of playing catch, so only got this one done.

I have moved onto stripping the main bedroom and back to removing woodchip wallpaper. Can say I will be definitely happy not to see woodchip for a very long time.

We are pushing on with getting our home finished in the next few weeks, as I am off again for my final week of the year and would like to spend it watching Christmas stuff on telly, eating mince pies, drinking either Hot Chocolate or Eggnog with my son and wife. But we'll see how close to this dream I get!!

First Eggnog Latte of the season......

Out with Finley today and we just had to stop at our local Starbucks to try this years Eggnog Latte and it had to be the largest to keep me going till tomorrow and it did not let me down.

A weeks holiday with one car in the garage......

It's been a busy week so far, with getting Fort Knox (dog run) and decorating done.

I had to re-work the dog area after the two girls managed to climb, yes climb the fence to escape. So a double height, panelled fence had to be built to give them no way of climbing. Hedges remove to give visibility of the whole area and them dumped.

Then onto the indoors where I have been laying laminate flooring in the playroom, Finleys room and the front room. I am now down to three panels to finish the front room. My brain had turned to mush last night so I had to retire from finishing it, till I felt fresher.

We have two cars as both of us work some distance from our home. We try to have it that there is always at least one of us at home to look after Finley to help not have to pay for child care. But one of the cars has had to go in for some TLC to get ready for its MOT and hopefully it will be ready in time for getting back to work next week!

Finley and I have had some free time this week to spend together away from the home improvements and while out and about I saw this......

......but unfortunately it was sold. It would have looked beautiful in our front room and it was only £125. Gutted! Althou, I did get coffee and some cook books while we we're out.

I have the blog now on WordPress to see what following will happen with this platform- homemadedad.wordpress.com

And I see we have our first viewersfrom Russia.
