Elegant entrance hall...

...or lumber yard.

Sigh, it seems I can never get this hall clear of building materials. These lengths of wood, at 5.5m, are too long to be taken upstairs where they are needed so will - in due course - be cut down here and carried up. I’m guessing with our master builder in London bringing in the bacon, we may have a few months more of stepping over them to get to my office and the boot room.

The odd looking thing behind the wood is the ‘new to us’ sofa, awaiting upholstering (and the upholsterer doesn’t even have the excuse of being away!)

Work, new work, pointless work and then grumpy, furious, keyboard-thumping work (lawyer on the other side either breaking all the rules or being woeful with track changes). Another mix up with basketball training schedules - I’ll get the hang of it once they stop changing the times without telling anyone!
