Builders were here up until yesterday lunchtime, so now we have a working (and, uhm, loomingly large) fridge, oven and microwave, plus shelves and cabinets. We also have very very pretty floor tiles, plus far better ceiling lights than before.

Everything else is in negotiation--the hob and sink are both pending on the worktop, the cooker hood is delayed, the dishwasher doesn't seem to be hooked up to the electricity, and a few other things here and there are not quite right. Plus we need to paint the walls. The builders said we could start putting our stuff back in the kitchen; I don't forsee us doing that until it's more complete.

Even so, the kitchen feels far more pleasant now than it did before.

We'll put up photos at some point, when [livejournal.com profile] huskyscotman digs out his camera cable.

Meanwhile, after about a month of not-having-time-to, I managed to find the time to a) get my hair cut and b) dye it black. Huzzah.

The night before you started posting about the renovations, I had a dream about visiting you guys, and Iain giving me a tour of your newly-remodeled flat, which was larger and more finely appointed than I was expecting.

The weird thing is that I didn't know you were planning on doing any renovating at the time I had this dream.

I would still like to do that, yes. It's about time that this impulse gels into making actual plans.

I assume "loomingly large fridge" translates into American as "normal fridge".

But hooray, anyway. It sounds really nice.

Okay, here you have me: my fridge does not make crushed ice.

It does however have a pretty vast amount of cheese storage space available.

We have a vast amount of storage space for *anything*. So much so that it's hard to decide what to put in there first. For some reason the only thing in the fridge right now is a small bottle of lemon juice.
