Tea? (Part 2)

[Night Train]

Just back from the tip having got rid of the last of the bags of building rubble.

I have rewarded myself with a and a pecan Danish. At a bit of an anticlimax now, nothing left to do to prepare. I might have to do something else, like tidy the workshop and unearth the tractor from all the stuff piled in the entrance hall.

I have been room dressing.

There is now a wicker chair, table lamp, three oriental style cat prints, a russet coloured rug, a large wooden turtle and a wooden duck in there. I've not hung the prints, only one is in a clip frame, but have chosen to leave them artistically propped up against the wall for now until I decide where I want to tap nails into the walls.

Granville, Ratrike, and The Creature have been consigned into storage for now.

What makes the better impression, I wonder, an electric tractor in the hall slight;y disguised by stuff, which becomes obvious gradually over the course of a week, or an in-your-face electric tractor in the hall, clear and resplendent for all to see....

I suspect the answer to this depends on one's definition of 'better impression'....

On other news. today was one of those days when we snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Lots of stress, but it came right in the end.

Suffice to say: cup of tea #1 was at 7.15 this morning. cup of tea #2 was at 4pm.

Cup of tea #3 currently being imbibed.

I'd love a bit of Battenburg right now. Will have to hold off for dinner though.

I'm glad to hear about the menagerie, but are there any beds at all?

for Arch.

I will have the tractor 'in ya face' I think! May as well start as I mean to go on.

Don't tell your Mum. Can you imagine how many Battenburgs she'd fit in your fridge.

The bed goes without saying. The single, that we stored on top of the double in the other room, is in there. I hate HATE HATE the tacky white metal headboard but for lack of time money and effort I will leave it, for now.

This is a totally outrageous suggestion, I know, but you could try sort of relaxing etc after all your hard work with the deadline looming. Yes, yes, its is a silly suggestion isn't it?

Today amongst other things, I have tidied the airing cupboard.
