Looking Out To Sea

So we foolishly decided that we’d get the place redd up if we arranged for a whole bunch of people to come over all at once. Well, they’re coming over this week but there doesn’t look to be much happening on the cleaning-and-tidying front.

I built the final kitchen chair today, so that’s one fewer thing taking up space in the living room. But there’s still loads of boxes full of CDs, DVDs and books which don’t have a home because we have no shelving.

Among today’s minor successes are having a proper set of bathroom towels, and plugging my desktop computer back in. Still no internet connection, but I did put on some photos of my parents’ trip to China, so there’s more variety on the screensaver. I like watching photos as screensavers. (I’ve been teasing my colleagues at work lately by using some of Helen’s food photos as my screensaver. I got back to my desk the other day and they’d turned off my monitor to avoid seeing further tantalising food shots!)

Just now I’ve got some baguettes in the oven, but they’re too slim and are rather too much like breadsticks. But it’s all about the practice…
