Koop Zondag

Today it was Koop Zondag and so we went shopping for our house.
(Koop Zondag = Buy Sunday. Shops aren't open here on every Sunday, only on some special Sundays)

One of the things we needed to buy was a toilet seat.

There were lots of different toilet seats.

I saw one that would be perfect for Hammie and G.!!

Look: there's another ladybug on the seat itself!

We finally settled for a wooden toilet seat and then went on to the next store.

On our way to the next store we spotted this sign.
Baby Dump? Now that's not nice!

But we didn't have any babies to dump, so we went to the carpet store to look for a new carpet.

I thought this one was nice and warm, but I was over ruled as my owner and her OtherHalf thought it was too light in colour.

Finally we ended up in the IKEA where I met a relative and a..... Well, I think it was a sheep, but I was too afraid I'd get clobbered if I asked.

Progress Is Being Made

The workroom of my owner's OtherHalf.
On the left a finished wall and on the right a wall that still has to be done.

The bedroom.
It needs a bit more green paint.

Renovation and a Mysterious Package

Tonight I braved the paint to see how things are getting along. My owner's workroom is coming along nicely and this is where the purple ended up. For those familiar with it: it's the colour of the wrappings of Milka Chocolate and therefor the room is now renamed to the Milka room.

Most of the other rooms still need lots of work though.

But luckily we got the tools to get the job done.
(Although I'm so not going to handle that scary machine myself)

And just look at what was delivered at the house today: a package from a Games Company. The weird thing was that we didn't order anything and the name on the package was that of one of our friends. I do not think she would order a package to be send to our house, especially as we're so busy to get it liveable again at the moment. Strange....

The package contained a game, but no note or anything to explain why it was send. I never heard of the game either. I wonder if we'll find out what this is about.....

Why I Stayed at Home the Last Couple of Days

My owner might like purple, but I do not think purple would look good on me, so I stayed home these last couple of days while my owner, her OtherHalf and a good friend were painting our renovated house.

Pumpkins

Cool Poster and Halloween Party

Look what I got in the mail today:
A really cool poster from The Heir of Night! I won it over at the blog of Helen Lowe, the author of the book.

And I also got an Orbit button!

Thanks Helen!!!

Tonight we're having a Halloween Party. Because of all the painting and stuff I didn't have time for making a costume, but there will be pumpkins and pumpkin soup.

Candy, Mail and Paint

Today one of our co-workers brought Halloween candy to work!!

Look how cool it is! And it was tasty as well.

When I got home there was another package waiting for me.

It was the Halloween 'Poisoned' Candy Bag that I won at Sweet Vernal Zephyr. It wasn't really poisoned of course, it was a bag full of bookmarks, sampler booklets and other cool stuff.

There was even some real candy and a cool Halloween card. I'm really happy with my prize. Thanks SVZ ;-)

We started the painting in our house. The kitchen is coming along very nicely.

And we're very fortunate we got great friends who help us out!
Thanks K.!
