The Floor

As some of you know, we have been without a floor since last summer. In a fit of DIY-ness, we pulled up all the tile and carpet, bought a truckload of laminate flooring and then...nothing. Well, Craig has been working hard the last few weekends and we now have what qualifies as "an expanse" of flooring. Here are the pics. There is still a long way to go, but the trickiest bits near the front door with all the angled walls and the lip going down into the living room etc have been tackled and he has found his stride.

birthday

Birthday was great. We got a new washing machine:) That wasn't my present. I got a bike rack for my car and a bike helmet and biking gloves. All wonderful. I rode to meet Val and Ellen for dinner tonight. Miscalculated a little, thinking in my mind that it was probably equally up and down hill both directions. By the time I was half way there, I was pretty certain that it was going to be relentlessly uphill much of the way home. Imagine my delight when Ellen offered to load bike into her big new lexus SUV and drive me home.
