Tuesday being the day we mind our honorary grandchild, no progress in the house, but we spend the evening sorting out the manuals for all the appliances and putting together an instruction book for visitors.
Wednesday we are back in there, hanging the two lights that were purchased during our most recent IKEA visit. It takes much longer that anticipated because it is very hard to fasten fittings to an aged ceiling rose, and even in the hall where the plaster is new, it wasn't easy. But by the time she heads off to jazz, both lights are in place, and look great. We're particularly pleased with the shade we picked for the bedroom - its cupcake shape looks quite appropriate hanging under the ceiling rose and it throws a lovely warm light.
When not required to hold the ladder or pass tools up and down, she oils the top of the new kitchen trolley. While she is at jazz, he does a massive cleanup in preparation for our first guest, due tonight. It's only her brother John, but we still want the guest wing to look as good as possible.
