The ides of March

I am not about to prattle on here talking about foreboding doom or whatever the ides of march are supposed to represent (just beware of them…).

Yes – March has arrived – and we have officially reached the point that every plucky renovator reaches where they just want the damn thing to be over… We have no fridge, no tv, no home cooked meals, no place to relax, no Sunday morning coffee and toast. I wouldn’t say that I am addicted to TV (although 1000 DVD’s might say otherwise…) but I just miss that place to crash after a hard day/ week at work. Currently our bedroom has the feeling of some dingy cabin from an overstocked ship.

But we are near the end! The windows went in (Glory!) and the floors are completed – although not entirely finished (to our statisfaction…more on that later). The upstairs of the house has finally been entirely cladded.

    I reckon… from an onlooker’s perspective, they’re really flying! :)

    …I can already smell the sizzling snags and hear the warm chatter of admiring guests at the celebratory barbecue!
