He came home

We picked up our little bit of animated fluff at the RSPCA where he had been handed in.  He is never ever leaving my sight again.

I have just come back after five glorious days in Kent.  The sea is so beautiful.  The Apprentice came with his tool kit and between us we got through an enormous list of tasks.  We now have a wall mounted telly, lots of splendid curtains, paintings hung, furniture assembled ... Actually Mr Smith and I put together the World's most impossibly complicated sofa, it took us four hours.  The Apprentice slept on it.

Before we left we had to be destructive as a leak appeared in the bathroom and a nasty smell in the loo. We tore up Lino and lifted floors but found nothing.  Now we have to put it all back.

I am absolutely exhausted but the flat now looks almost perfect ... Except the loo and bathroom.
