Had such a lovely day. Started off in Jungle where I bought flowers for my lovely mate Carol. Then it was off to Carol's for a chat and a scone and fish fingers, waffles and beans for the kids. Caught up with all her news and then her unidentical twin sister showed up and I caught up with her news. Also got my birthday present off C. which is going to get pride of place in my kitchen. Am also going hunting for the picture she nearly gave me before deciding she loved it too much herself to part with it. How unfair is that? Here's what you nearly got!!! Cruel, cruel woman. Still, I love my present and I'll post a pic as soon as I get a chance. Will also tell you where to find it as I think everyone should have one.
Then off to see a mate in Castleknock who is redoing her entire house to the extent that she knocked bits off and built bits on. She asked advice on colour (cos that's my thing) and I advised. Then we all sat down and ate, drank a bit and had a laugh. We were just out the door and I was asked what I thought of their choice for kitchen cupboards - the ones that are going to go in their fantastic kitchen.
Now you see, that was a problem. I'd seen the plans and whilst I really liked what they were doing I thought having the lower presses (fuck that 'cupboard' lark. I'm Irish and we have presses) a cool graphite grey and the wall presses cream . . well, I thought it looked cheap. But it's not my kitchen so who am I to say anything.
Shame I didn't listen to myself. They asked just as we were heading out the door and .. . . I told them. So here I am, about to go to bed with a big mug of tea and a copy of (the shame) Heat and (the joy) Living etc. and they're lying in their rented house going 'fuck. fuck. grey or cream? GREY OR CREAM???'.
Definitely grey and grey. Night night.
