Things are progressing quickly with the house now. We are both feeling somewhat unsettled. Dont want to spend time in the house thats not home. Yesterday saw the kids having fun in the back garden here in the golden autumn sunshine, John cooking apple pies with the wee ones and flour footprints and me repotting

Ikea make nice furniture indeed. They make cheap tat that falls apart if you give it so much as a hard stare. That and there’s the tortuous process of actually buying it – you hike around a weavy path looking at randomly displayed stuff and write down all the warehouse information, then you go to

LOL. Ikea make some lovely furniture. We are going to have to go shopping for basics when things move on a bit. John and I had thought about the possibility of camping beds and bean bags if need be. Im just shattered – I just want to get home. I think we all do. –

Aaaargh! We’re now at the point where the loss adjuster is starting to think about sending out cheques for parts of our house contents. While this may sound like a good thing, Debbie is beginning to gaze hungrily at the Ikea catalogue :-/ On a cheerier note, I have an idea for a book that

It’s difficult to believe that we’ve been out of our home for almost six weeks. At the same time, that first, nightmarish, week in the Roslin Hotel seems like a distant blur, already fading into the kind of half-memory that’s usually reserved for particularly bad holidays – bad enough to not be cherished, but not

Debbie’s birthday today. Matthew was having a great time desperately trying to open all her presents for her. I eventually had to command him to back away from the presents with his hands in the air. No shortage of enthusiasm, that boy. Anyway, Happy Birthday Deeds! No tiles down, but a plasterer has been in

It all seems to be going swimmingly on the house front. The internal walls are all in, the kitchen now has a roof, all the windows and patio doors have been replaced. Apparently, there is a tiler busily putting down a floor in the bathroom as we speak, with the bathroom suite arriving on Tuesday.
