<\/p>\n\nFriends P and G with their daughter H visited us in the morning. We looked at how the remodelling has progressed, and browsed wallpaper books together. It is striking to see H and Adrian side by side – born within 2 days of each other, about the same general size and shape, but so different in behaviour. H can just sit in someone’s arms and look at the world, quietly twirling her hands. Adrian sits for 30 seconds, then starts twisting or jumping up and down, or stands up, or complains.\n<\/p>\n
\nThen we went to IKEA to buy six tall cupboards for the office. We’ll be using their tall kitchen cabinets, but will buy doors from an independent supplier. Anton needs the cupboards’ measurements so that he can install the flooring in that room – the interiors are finally getting to the point where the actual final layer will be put in place!\n<\/p>\n
\nWe straightened up the outdoor drying rack that I put up the other day – it needed some wooden wedges between the pipe in the ground and the vertical pole. We decided on measurements for the wooden deck. We selected wallpapers.\n<\/p>\n
\nA busy day. Phew.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe wallpapers – living room, dining room, office cabinet doors, stairwell:<\/p>\n
