‘Winter
is coming.’ A cheesy, Game of Thrones
inspired quote but quite apt as I looked out across the snowy wasteland of
Poole Park this morning and thought blimey, that was a hard frost last
night! There’s a small fluffy dog
scampering across the frozen grass which could almost be a direwolf if I squint
long enough. At 7.30 am, it’s all blissfully quiet and white – just me and a
few other nutters enjoying the wintry landscape.

Been
sat in the toastiness that is our office all day wearing more layers than a
Sara Lee gateau. It’s one of those rare
moments when the heating is actually on, we’ve no work to do and I’ve drunk
more tea than the PG Tips monkey. I’m
bloated and bored and blogging on the sly.
Popping
over to our local Wickes later on this evening as we’ve reached a decision on
the new kitchen so it’s time to sign on the line and commit ourselves fully to
Project Nouvelle Cuisine (it’s all my tea soaked brain can come up with at this
time of day). They’re the best of the
bunch given our budget and desire to have a kitchen that isn’t one of those
shiny white slab affairs. I prefer the
more traditional wood look finish but it that it seems comes at a price
especially if it’s solid wood.
Choosing
a kitchen is far from easy (rolled eyes).
I’ve had many a sleepless night mulling over carcass thicknesses,
laminate worktops and whether to go for a single or two bowl sink not to
mention the tiling/colour scheme dilemma (we’ll come to that one on a separate
post!).
But for now, I’m just going to enjoy another cup
of tea before snuggling under my duck down duvet to annoy the other half with
my incredibly cold (and he would say cheesy) feet.
Enjoy the winter wonderland of a snowy Poole Park!
