August Bank Holiday. Cold and wet, hardly the sort of day to encourage you to venture outdoors. Fortunately – or unfortunately – I had to stay in to clear out the kitchen, with the builder coming tomorrow to begin installing the new one. It has been years in the planning, or so it seems, not helped by my not really knowing what I wanted, other than some cupboards, preferably with matching doors, and things like sinks and cookers and washing-machines, though ideally only one of each.
You might have thought that clearing out the kitchen would be a relatively straightforward task. But it involved clearing out most of the rest of the house in order to make space for what was in the kitchen. I don't have much space spare upstairs, and even less downstairs, so it required some careful juggling to get everything to fit. There are now pots and pans and bags of groceries stashed away around the house in every available nook and cranny. Goodness know how I will find anything again. Tomorrow's breakfast may have to be limited to whatever edible item I come across first.
