What a difference a day makes.

Well I spent all weekend working on the kitchen and I think we are finally getting towards the end of it!


The sink is all plumbed in and working, the worktops are in place and most of the painting is done. All that remains to do is finishing off the trim, painting window frames and replacing a pane of faded plastic (why did they do that!!) in the window with glass.

Well after yesterdays snow (it was quite light around here) today is the day of the deep freeze. All the hard surfaces outside are sheet ice, glinting in the sunshine. The weather forecasts are a little vague as to what we should expect today but my barometer is settled between Rain and Change so maybe we will get more snow later.

I just watched a fox resplendent in it's thick winter coat crossing the fields. Sadly it ws to far away for a photograph but I watched it foraging through the binoculars I keep on my desk.

    I can't clean my kitchen in a weekend, let alone build one!

  5. Congrat's on all your work, it's looking great. Glad you can play with power tools since your garden tools aren't doing you any good right now!

  8. I love your sink and that color, or colour, as I think you spell it. Great work! I'm glad you got to see a fox, even though you couldn't get a pic.

  9. Thank you everyone for the comments, I should say it is still not quite finished, I still have a lot of fiddly bits to finish off, but at least it is usable again.
