As Mum would have said: We're amongst it. Indeed, I think she may been even more definite: We're right amongst it. It being the minor renovation of Maison KL which now feels pretty major. As Noi succinctly put it: From the outside, it looks like a war zone.
To add to the sense of occasion, it's obvious the various workmen plying their trades on our property - replacing fencing, re-laying the drive, re-painting almost everything in sight - are not going to finish by the weekend, as was originally planned. And that's not due to any lack of hard work, of which we've seen plenty. So we are not complaining, just soldiering on. And, anyway, they are the ones doing all the hard work - oh, and Noi, of course, keeping it all running.
She's also arranged for various repairs to be carried out on a sofa and chair, so we're watching tv seated on the floor this evening. But there are worse places to be, and no one I'd rather be there with.
