Missed the electrician yesterday so will have to wait till later in the week, bummer.  Got loads more of the studio packed into boxes - can't believe there's so much stuff - not all mine I hasten to add.  But there's so much more in the house that will need to go in there - I want it to be warm and welcoming.  Daves' getting a paint chart to give me some ideas.  The ceiling will stay white and the wooden beam across the middle will stay black but need to decide on the walls.  I would like to put up some of my craft stuff and maybe some of the kids art too.  Have to see how much wall space I'll have once the furniture is back in.

This is just a small corner.  My rocking chair is in the corner, this will be coming back in.  The bikes are temporary whilst we use the shed to store the boxes.

The wall behind the bookcase looks terrible - there's soil stacked up on the other side of the wall and the damp has come through the single brick wall, hence the work being done to stop it coming through.  The bookcase will be staying as I have a lot of reading books which have spilled out of the house, about six boxes full to go on there somehow, may have to get another one if there's room.  The craft books will be going on the long shelves at the other end of the room above the desk.  Neither of which are there yet.

I'm feeling a little hemmed in as I can't get at my 'stuff'.  Everything is closing in at the moment as the house is filling up a bit with some of the 'stuff'.  I find it very difficult to get motivated with all the stuff around me.

Sarah is away this weekend on camp taking a qualification in Yachting apparently, should be having fun, the weather is pretty good for it at the moment.  Just got Mike off the DS and he's vanished upstairs, probably trashing his room.  Dave has gone for a bow-saw as he's taking down the Lilac Trees behind the playhouse,  Only down to around five feet but it's an awful lot of wood.  The wheelie bin is full and so is the patio at the side of the house.  Any excuse to light the burner in the garden again.

What would I do without back-to-back episodes of Morse this afternoon.
