and the making good part

Such privations. Fortunately we're able to eat proper cooked and heated food in the evenings at the Portobello office but in the mornings the vital money-saving flaskful of work-coffee must be prepared with the coffee machine atop the fridge next to the freezer next to the sideboard in the living room, topping-up the flask with water from the kettle beneath the radiator, all prepared the night before after washing out the flask in the bathroom sink.

I don't know if this bit is going to stay like this after a small hole was poked behind the skirting-board in order to play with some wires. We shall see when the finishing-plaster stage is reached.
