October 1999

Diary Years

The adults of both families spent a week at the house during October and occupied themselves on a number of minor projects.

There was one addition to the household inventory.

John buisied himself making and fitting a door for the hole in the wall between the lounge and the utility room.

Here's the finished job. If you need a reminder of how it used to look, just move your mouse over the picture.

Sue tidied up the ivy at the front of the house and found time to do some sketching.

Maggie meanwhile applied a few coats of woodstain to some of her bedroom furniture (outside in the autumn sunshine, of course).

I finally got around to covering the unsightly pipes at the top of the stairs which had been a bit of an eyesore since May 1996, but just not a priority.

A visit to the local Brocante in Gorron during October 1999 provided the oppportunity to purchase a kitchen table.

Whilst the table's condition was far from pristine, its price was right and following a good scrub and waxing it has that 'well used' look and provides a welcome addition to our household inventory.
