Well, it's been an exciting day all round. Jo spent most of the weekend emptying all the cupboards in the kitchen in preparation for the arrival of the kitchen fitters today. Of course, all the stuff had to go somewhere, and now every room in the house has got kitchen stuff in it!
I got home early from work in good time so that I could see the Olympic Torch Relay coming through Banchory just after 5 pm. The house was in chaos - noise and dust everywhere - and it was freezing. Doors and windows were open and, of course, we have no heating just now - the gas man's visit last Wednesday determined that we needed another Power Flush and meanwhile, we're experimenting with switching different radiators on and off to see if we can clear the black gunge that Jo is daily having to clear out of the system through the filter.
We shouldn't need any heating at this time of year, but the weather has been so poor recently.
I walked down to the High St. to join the throngs who were lining the street, awaiting the arrival of the Torch. Jo couldn't join me as she wanted to stay at home until the workmen were finished for the day. I suggested I would pick up a take-away at the new Thai/Chinese/Asian - it wasn't bad, by the way. The relay duly arrived and took 10-15 minutes to pass along the High St. - I hadn't realised there were so many people and vehicles involved. Finally, the Torch itself:
Back home, the kitchen is now stripped:
The old fridge/freezer is going down to the garage - everything in the new kitchen will be exactly that - all brand new.
