and there is so much work to do! not helped by the fact that our electrics are old, and clearly put in by an electrician many years ago without an obvious plan. so DH has had to take half the house apart chasing a fault which was stopping the kitchen plugs [including oven] from working. argh! he has identified finally where it must be and gone for isolating that area, as pretty impossible to get to without demolishing the kitchen. argh some more! so some photos of nooks and crannies to celebrate his persistance.
in other news, we have gradually been becoming festive. the trees are up and decorated, the parcels are wrapped [on the whole] and we have been doing some festive crafting. not enough tho, as i am driven to help sb with her work so bb getting a bit left out. must remedy!
