Pictures 1 and 2: The first job today was cleaning and tidying the Music Room after the chimney had been done yesterday. This was an "all hands on deck" task, and we got it done very quickly as a result. The Chimney Sweep had made a really good job of cleaning up, but there was one particular place he had missed: under the chair! When I pulled the chair out, there was so much soot and dirt there, we were able to write little messages!!
Picture 3: Since we got Orlando in October 2013, he has been (mostly) allowed in only half of the downstairs for the house (it's a hard life!!). But in mid-January, he will be getting the run of the whole house. It looks like he was practising a bit for this...
Picture 4: We do love our Pay-As-You-Go shopping at Tesco, but we're really bad at remembering bags! Fortunately, we put a plastic wallet to good use! We are great at being inventive!!
Picture 5: As we've mentioned before, Orlando hasn't been feeling well as he's had a nasty little dog-cough. Fortunately that seems to be much better now, which meant he was absolutely wild after his walk this morning! Here he is waiting (im)patiently for a pine cone:
Picture 6: The Railway Room is one of the hugest interior design and decorating tasks that we've taken on since we moved to Wick nine years ago on this very day! It has involved many, many hours/days/weeks/months/over-a-year to get it to this point, but the new carpet has just gone down. This may not look like much, but it is actually going very, very well!
Picture 7: A black hole! Actually, this is looking down the tube that the carpet was wrapped around, which you can see on the picture above.
Pictures 8, 9, 10 and 11: Games Night! One of the highlights of the week. Tonight we were playing The Game of Things, and eating wine gums and revels! (Note the pencil that says "Alex is a poop" because we are charming sisters!!)
