more winged things and a mirror!

good evening one and all,

things have been progressing well here at simple h.q. with the unit in the upstairs bathroom all but finished (photos will come when the grouting on the tiles is done and it's been waterproofed - have patience).

more wall skimming/priming/preparing is happening and the other sink units are being started and so there's loads going on.

here are a couple of nice shots of butterflies that i took today instead of going for a ride (the first days riding i've missed in over three weeks!) as my chain snapped yesterday and i think its finally had it but i can't get a new one until tomorrow - doh!

this one has two sets of wings of differing orientations:



and this one is amazingly coloured - beautiful:



finally, i made a mirror frame for the upstairs bathroom.

i found an old mirror in a horrible broken frame by the skips in the local town and so scavenged it for future use.

then, i made this frame from some left-over chestnut planks which we have.

to say that i am please with the resulting product would be an understatement. the only problem with it, as nikki quite rightly pointed out, is that it is so well made that it looks shop bought instead of homemade but what can you do???

the reflection of the late afternoon sky is great too!

enjoy:



the others (nikki, monkey boy, maggie, 9 month old alfie and rudie) have all gone for a walk down to the river (which i could have joined them on if i'd remembered by chain was broken) and so i'm now off to start dinner.

cheers, gairy.
