No longer displaced

Well, we’re back in our own house, and after a week of Abstract’s hard work, we have a floor throughout most of our kitchen, four new pieces of kitchen furniture, and a working oven!  The hob is not yet working, sadly, and the (huge, double) sink has neither taps, drainage nor running water, so we’re still traipsing up and down stairs to wash up in the bathroom sink.

Oh, and our hoover and kettle and Abstract’s motorbike all broke.  We have a new kettle, a new hoover is being ordered, and the bike is at the bike doctor’s.  And we’re just trying not to think about the money!

This is a view of our new kitchen extension, together with a glimpse of Rubble Mountain in the back garden, and me peeping out of the corner of the frame.

And this is me again, keeping warm in my new Samhain hoodie that Crissy and Lindsey gave me when I went to see them at the London Book Fair earlier this month.
