We finished off redecorating the spare bedrooms this weekend. All the painting in both is done and furniture rearranged (or in the case of bookcases acquired via a 500 mile round trip to Ikea). All in all they both look really good, very livable in compared to the scarily coloured almost empty rooms they were before. It's nice to have things in this house our way, more and more of it is becoming that way now. Unfortunately now this means we can have people over to visit :| . At least the first use of them will go to an online friend of my wife's rather than the dreaded parents. All that and I only came away with one war wound, a blistered bit of skin in the middle of my palm from screwing in lots of joiny bits that Ikea furniture comes with. Now it is just a little flap of skin peeling off and healing over.
In other good news the fires around here are getting under control, most especially the one nearest us. The biggest one still has a lot of work to go but is far enough away that it doesn't really affect us much other than a bit of smoke in the air, at least we can see the sky now though and there are actual shadows on the ground from the sun rather than a haze everywhere. What a fun first fire season here for us....
Oh well, going to go and watch a bit of TV now. I've finished work for the day, got a reasonable amount done today with the interruptions from other people at work and things are looking good to get all my work done by mid September when things are scheduled to finish. It seems I'm pretty good at estimating how long to get things done after all these years.
