long 24 December 2008
Oh, the longest of long days – I saw the builders off (till mid january, it seems, and then there’s still at least 3 weeks to do so I wasn’t far wrong when I predicted Val’s Day as a timepoint when people could come and have a look!) and in the meantime the change in the house is that I will live here (with my Husband, from time to time) on a building site, but without the hairy men who normally come with that. So, today everyone did their bit to make all necessary usable and even tried to de-dust the house and tomorrow I will try to do the rest, including the washing of floors, more dusting, and the vast unpacking of LOADSA boxes…hmm, I feel prioritisation upon me already…in the meantime my hands are like sandpaper from the dust, me large nose is stuffed and the chest is whistling along nicely…Christmas, my arse!
By the by, my new oven is a fan-assisted jobby – any tips re timing and temperature for the turkey????? HEEEELLLLLLPPPPPP
