Heute haben Bine, Oettl und ich das 1. OG in eine altweisse Oase verwandelt. Ziel war es, Charlie’s Arbeitszimmer zu streichen und das Schlafzimmer. Wir haben aber auch den Flur im OG und das Gästezimmer geschafft. Bine hat uns angetrieben und wollte es unbedingt schaffen. Um halb neun haben
Während der Sengelsweg sich langsam füllt, leert sich die Waldlehne. Zeit ist es, alles wieder (Charlie’s Sachen) oder erstmalig umzuziehen (alles, was wir von meiner Mutter mitnehmen). Viele Dinge haben die Waldlehne noch nie Verlassen. Am Samstag war zunächst der Hobbykeller dran. Ihr wollt nicht wissen, was ich da
That’s our new power cable. 50mm, enough to power our little fusion reactor. I hope they’ve reconnected us, otherwise we’re in trouble!
I have a sneaking feeling that readers have been waiting for this moment more than we have… In any case, it arrived on time and was fitted today. And we even got to test it, and it’s as good as I hoped for. Yes all mod cons, but also

Wir warten derzeit jedoch nicht auf das Christkind, sondern auf das Trocknen der Versiegelung des Bodens. Charlie nimmt es daher wörtlich, dass die heiligen Hallen am Sengelsweg nicht betreten werden sollen. Ich glaube,
So that the flooring can be completed, we’re not allowed in the house until Monday morning when, as I’m sure you so know by now, the kitchen will be fitted. The last thing in I did in the house was to choose the flooring for the upstairs bathroom.
This is the wallpaper that was behind the wall unit in the playroom. Now, we know from Escape to the Chateau that in the days of digital printing, it’s easy enough to have such designs reprinted. And maybe we can find a corner in the house where this would
It was a hard weekend. And, after cleaning the house, we still had to dismantle the wall unit. We were both quite tired and just wanted to get it done so we didn’t have much time to talk while we did it. So, it was new for me to
The blind column in development and then the finished article. Neatly also showing how lighting works to highlight. The bluer light makes the tiles seem grey, but more natural light lets the warmth through. I was lucky to see Ivan lay the final tile. He’s worked so hard to
