We're in - and with the bare basics of 12 assorted chairs and 1 small round table we had a housewarming with the pizza and pinot group. It meets monthly, this time at Cape Douglas.
Everyone is impressed with the setting and blown away by the view from the upstairs room - think I'll call it the lookout room. Two pelicans were perched on the reef and flocks of seabirds wheeled over the bay, creating an idyllic scene. I was thrilled to discover we have a resident blue wren and mate: another reason to convert Henrietta into an inside cat.
Yesterday as soon as David got the keys we rushed down to meet the builder who, we hope, will be doing the renovations. The good news: it's only "a little job", the bad news: he doesn't want to start till after Christmas. So we will have to spend a while without a bathroom - which quickly rose up the list of priorities.
New kitchen comes second: the only word for the hotplates is disgusting and the cupboards are inadequate to put it kindly. What fun to choose new everything and I'll get Christopher's sister Karen who is an interior decorator to help. David doesn't care as long as we don't have one of those hand basins that looks like a salad bowl.
