Wonderful improvement.<br />I also have one of those miniature umbrellas in the front garden and it must be all of 12ft tall.<br />I think it would be a good idea if you could buy an advanced one as it would make wonderful shade and they are so easily pruned into shape.<br />I did watch the film "Gremlins" years ago but never the follow ups. It was in the film that we were warned about the wetness and feeding after midnight. I thought Gizmo a real delight and every time I see him I think of granddaughter Christie.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-63540669336309178102015-05-30T11:47:09.727+08:002015-05-30T11:47:09.727+08:00That window continues to please me.

She is more of a floor play cat. Our Henry probably would have had Gizmo as he did love to steal bits and pieces.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-30253902501331474782015-05-30T11:45:07.190+08:002015-05-30T11:45:07.190+08:00I now look at the windows and wonder why I left it...I now look at the windows and wonder why I left it so long but other things gook precedence.<br />This is very much my room although there is a chair in the corner where Phil sometimes sits for a while and even Candy takes the occasional nap.<br />It is also a storeroom so I am surrounded by too much 'stuff' which is gradually being sorted through.<br />I'm not sure about greating gems these days as the old mind is slowing down but I keep trying to keep on keeping on as much as I can.<br />Always great to have you pop in for a visit.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-81827369403001482015-05-30T11:43:02.062+08:002015-05-30T11:43:02.062+08:00Any new work in this house reveals lots of work ne...Any new work in this house reveals lots of work needing to be done and but it's slow and hopefully sure these days. Having to now get workmen in one has to watch one's pennies.<br />I agree with your suggestion and have done the the past as good workmen will never recommend anyone they don't trust themselves. xxMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-62231412726920299092015-05-28T14:30:31.831+08:002015-05-28T14:30:31.831+08:00The new window is such an improvement.

I should get another, it would grow to shade my front door.<br />I remember the film Gremlins, I haven't seen the whole movie, just bits of it, but that was more than enough. As a well-known TV character says, "don't get the Gremlins wet, don't feed the Gremlins after midnight, how hard is that?"Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-53910226984254235002015-05-28T13:30:00.138+08:002015-05-28T13:30:00.138+08:00Love your new window.

Now you have a bright, airy space, "A Room Of One's Own" (to borrow from Virginia Woolf) to write and create as many gems as you like.

It is not in their interests just to do 'jobs for mates' as it will reflect on their business also. Stood me in good stead, that little gem...
