Ah Seng came round yesterday afternoon with one of his workers to help us move the furniture back into place at ground level. So now the house looks like the house should look. Which is highly satisfactory and something of a relief. I thought I'd miss the old flooring but Noi's clever searching for the right kind of tiles for the floor resulted in us finding exactly the right kind of tiles.
There are still quite a few jobs left to do, though, to make everything shipshape. One such task being to get the ground floor windows, of which there are more than a few, looking reasonably clean. And I'm about to get started on that. Noi normally would have set about this manfully, if not womanfully, on arrival, but the poor girl has been suffering from quite a nasty ache down her left arm for some days now and isn't really one hundred percent, though still managing to get most things that need to be done, done.
We're putting the purchase of a new telly for the house on hold for the moment. The previous chunky set gave up the ghost a few months back after a couple of decades of good service. But we've got so much to entertain ourselves with that we're not exactly missing the goggle box. Which obliquely reminds me that I must accompany my work on the windows with something from the Bobster, now the CD player is back in place. Probably The Basement Tapes - Raw. With that and the ferocious birdsong from the trees opposite there's more than enough to listen to as I work.
