First, if you have had this emailed to you - welcome back! With Angela changing jobs, she hadn't posted for ages, and then the auto-emailer had somehow forgotten who it was meant to be sending to. So your mornings will be complete again with a daily update of the boring detail of our lives.
And yesterday was an exciting day too. The carpet layer came, and we had beautiful new (well, patched) carpet from wall to wall in our new bedroom when we got home. Joy! Excitement! And now we are off the lounge floor and in our real bed in our real bedroom. Such a relief. Still a bit of moving in to do, but the main thing is, our bed is there and it's not moving again. Toby is still in with us - but it's a big room so it's not as much of a bother.
But the most exciting thing seemed to be not that we were out of sleeping bags on the floor and the couch - it was that we got our TV back, with cable, and Wii, and Playstation. I think Toby has been having withdrawal symptoms over the last month! This morning he got up and went straight to watching Nick Jr, even though it was rubbish - it was just the first thing that came on. Then he switched to Wii Sports and came up tired and panting after a few rounds of boxing. Last night though, Angela had SingStar fired up and I'm sure we gave the local neighbours' cats some howling and screeching competition! Though it seemed to be me who was doing most of the singing in the end. Angela had bought a second-hand disc from Surfers that (it turned out) was a bit scratched and one of the songs didn't work - that meant I had to go thru the other 29 to see whether any of the others were bad too. Hmm, I did a fairly credible Unchained Melody but Beyonce wasn't quite my style...
The renovations continue, with Sean from Boston Wardrobes turning up to measure our four new wardrobes for drawers, rails and shelves. Now we just need the pasterer to turn up a second time, and then Toby's bedroom will be rapidly finished too. And that's job done. Whew! The end is in sight.
