Up early again today, did the blog then messed about online for a little while, spoke to ant on skype, and Jackie and Tony asked if i wanted to go to Arras with them in the afternoon, i said i would. I chatted to mum on face book for a short while and until she had to go see to a neighbor but we said we would skype a little later on. I made a start on the stairs, trying to get the glue off with a solution but it did not work so it is back to the drawing board for that one. I decided i needed to give the house a bit of a tidy round as it was starting to get me down, so i cleaned through the kitchen. I phoned Marion and Maggie and had a chat with them and arranged for Maggie to come over on Tuesday to get the house on the market. Cleaned through the living room and hall and the place looked a lot better.
I went back on line for a while in the hope of catching mum on skype but we missed each other as Tony and Jackie arrived. We went to Arras to look at carpets, unfortunately the soonest they would be able to fit a carpet for us would be in a month, so that will have to be a very last resort, i cant belive there is only one carpet place within half an hours drive of here. After the carpet shop we went in to Arras and had a subway, very nice for a change, then headed back, stopping at Leroy Merlin on the way, where i bought some new light solutions for the bedrooms and upper landing. When i got back it was half past seven so i released the hounds and sorted out their food, then programmed my tv viewing and sorted out some dinner, just a steak and onion baguette tonight, but very enjoyable. I watched Princess Mononoke, another studio ghibli classic, then went up to read.
Ant is home tomorrow, not sure when or how as yet, but i can't wait for him to get back, this has seemed like the longest trip in ages, and i am sure he will redress my fears that the place looks worse now we have messed it about than it did before we started.
