Living In CHAOS

That's Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome. Except of course, we do have a house guest fir a few days. Cousin Julian is here with us till Friday. And he is brilliant - on Monday whilst I was at my Craft Group, he went with Bob to collect the new bedroom furniture. The old stuff is going up into the loft to provide slightly more organised storage of craft materials. But as is the way of these things, that stuff will not fit through the loft hatch. 

So everything has to be dismantled, and will be reassembled once it is up there. The dining table was out of action all through Monday and meals eaten in the lounge

Lots of hard work, on our knees, assembling IKEA flat-pack stuff. It will be great when it is all done. It was lovely to have Julian on the assembly line with us, and made things a little faster, as we collaborated on the building.

But there is still the matter of sorting the drawers and deciding what goes where. 

I suspect odd socks and tatty pants will at last be binned. I have a bad habit of keeping them 'in case of emergency'. What sort of crisis would that be, do you think?

It was Quizzy Monday again - so we downed tools to watch Only Connect together. Such a relief to see V C-M after the trials of Puzzling, with Lucy W!  And I really enjoyed Amol Rajan"s appearance asking the questions on University Challenge. He had a light touch, and relaxed manner. This match was was a nail-biting start to the new series too. 

Now all the new furniture is built, awaiting contents. The recycling collection is today - there will be lots of large cardboard boxes outside Cornerstones. I hope there isn't another storm in the morning. 

Thank you Julian and  Bob for doing the bulk of the work whilst I was out at my craft group.
