Day ?

Yes, we're still knee (neck?) deep in the renovation work here - think we're on about day 10 now (if you count work days, anyway). Funny, the office upstairs, which always felt like the messiest part of the house (or at least the most indicative of the fact that we just moved here a few months ago - there are more than a few straggling cardboard boxes up here), suddenly feels so neat and tidy, even though we haven't changed a thing. I'm happy to have this little corner, free from sawdust and dirt.

Yes, my patience with it all is starting to wear. At some point, I told H that I couldn't cope with dinner guests again  until this is all over...but I'm the first one who doesn't have the heart to cancel the company we have planned for this weekend. Guess it will just have to be very simple (again!).



I'm just hoping the washing machine will go in today - it's been here for a few days now - smack in the middle of the living room. Granted, it's a bit bigger than anyone thought it would be, so the workers are busily constructing a small and subtle "bump-out" to accommodate it - one more reason the work has been a bit slower going than planned upstairs.
