- Curtains have been altered and hung in the front bedroom
- The carpet has been laid in the front bedroom (not by us of course) and the bed made and the TV installed and it's ready for occupancy!
- The electrician has been and checked the hole that Peter drilled in the cable sending out a large bang, but, thankfully, nothing worse. The hole has been patched and the batten for the curtain track installed.
- The curtain track has gone up and the curtain for the second window in the kitchen has been altered and hung.
- The handrail from the stairs to our bedroom has been sanded and stained and is ready for varnish in the morning.
- The hall floor is black and gleaming and really looks good. All Peter's work. His Christmas kneedpads have proved their weight in gold!
- The redecoration of the understairs cupboard is complete and coat hooks screwed back on. We are on the lookout for more.
- The wardrobe doors in our bedroom have had another coat of paint. They weren't exactly right. So far just the lower doors done. The upper doors still remain to be finished tomorrow.
- The thresholds to all the rooms have been re-varnished.

| The unholy holly |
We have been giving the holly tree by the back gate the evil eye. It's been badly pruned in the past and is lopsided with foliage on the street side only. It is a roost for pigeons which foul the path to the back gate and the gate itself. I have made enquiries and as the trunk at head height is bigger than a bean can we have to make an application to remove it. There are two forms and a set of instructions. This should be fun!
