UPDATE

We are now over a week into the process with another two weeks to go. The central heating has been replaced as has all the electrical wiring. The kitchen is now just bare walls, which have been replastered and a temporary sink. Everything that was in there and in one of our closets is now piled around the rest of this small flat in cardboard boxes. We are hoping that the kitchen will be back to normal by the end of the month, after which they come to rip out and replace our windows.

In the meanwhile, we are living on salads and sandwiches and going out to eat far too much for my liking or my wallet! But when it's all done ....... sigh!

The four+ months pregnant muffette and her beaux are here, they leave today. It's been difficult but they have entered into the spirit of the thing and despite having to share a room with mountains of crockery, cookware and the like, have been splendid company.

Watch this space
