Happy New Year!
I haven’t done a book review for ages, so I’ll start the new year with A Wedding In December by Anita Shreve.

Doing up the cellar and games room + review of Focus paint.
Part way through the job.
I just can’t seem to start one thing and finish it. I left the kitchen alone for a couple of weeks and focussed on the rooms in the cellar. My eldest daughter wanted to use it for her birthday party, and I welcomed the change of scenery.

Knocking down another wall
Part way through the job.
Two days after the plane landed in England, I’m to be found ignoring the suitcases in the middle of the living room floor (the weather was too wet to dry the washing anyway), sledge hammer in hand and bashing down a couple of walls at the top of the cellar stairs. I do have a good reason though…

Grouting the floor
After spending one afternoon making my first attempts at grouting the floor; leaving the gaps to gradually fill with dirt seemed like a very sensible option.

Sealing the floor
After reading all about the different types of sealant on the internet and the best advice for terracotta tiles, I decided to go for the only kind they sell in the local Focus. This is Q EP Tile Sealer.

Update on the wild garden
The strimmed wild garden
My arms are killing me today. Yesterday I finally strimmed it down.
