New working area
My Great-grandparents' table was delivered today and completes the new area that we can use for working at home.

First art piece
Celebrate with us; we put our first piece of art on the wall of our new house today, finally beginning to feel like home. Also put the clock that we bought to celebrate out 10th anniversary (tin, since you ask) onto the wall to try and disguise the "Murial" a bit - think we'll have to just paint over it eventually.

A Surprise Parcel
This unexpected parcel was from our mortgage people at Nationwide. Packed full of useful things like washing up liquid, bin bags, loo roll and coffee. It even included two mugs, shame there were no chocolate biscuits though!
Monday and back to reality
BH went to work today. It only took him 28 mins door to door, which is considerably better than the 2hrs15 it used to take, and reminded us if one if the main reasons for all this upheaval.
Some rooms are beginning to take shape. I'm pleased with the chair in the kitchen where I can sit and listen to Women's Hour, and I look forward to a friend sitting there chatting while I cook.
The outside space, though small, has proved a godsend as it provided the only place to sit during the chaos, and is still where we eat most of our meals.
The sitting room looks okay viewed one way, just don't look at the pile of boxes behind.
The clothes rails from WSM (wicked step-mother) are brilliant and sturdy, and I'm so glad to ditch those flimsy things we got from the store that shall remain nameless.
