A little privacy required

Peter starts work on the curtain rails

We have succumbed to net curtains!   Not something we would normally do but we've noticed too many people pressing their noses to the windows and staring in!   We are right on the street and the temptation to peer in is clearly too great.   The remarks are mainly very complimentary, but all the same.   We have only gone for half curtains as a compromise. 

Peter fixes the door knob back on

We spent last week in Southwold mainly decorating our bedroom.   We've done an OK job - good enough for government work Peter tells me!  The quality of the paintwork won't win any prizes but at least it's all clean and fresh and we were able to get the bed and the chest of drawers out of the bathroom at last and give them a good clean.  We haven't been in there since the building work started and it was pretty dusty.  So now our bedroom is restored and we can use the bathroom. 

At the weekend Peter got the curtain tracks up on the two front sash windows and today I went down and started re-working the curtains we brought from London.  This involves a great deal of crawling around on the floor measuring and cutting.  I managed to get one curtain finished, hemmed and hung.  Three to hand...and that's just the windows at the front of the sitting room. 13 curtains  more to go!!
