Building work continues

The utility room is virtually finished with the floor down now, the room painted and final touches completed. It's a question of getting the various equipment in alongside units from kitchen that will get us using the room for intended purpose rather than as a large hallway in which we get the dogs' leads on them.

The kitchen work is underway with the new units, dishwasher, oven, hob etc going in. The old ones are being transferred to the utility room. We're still looking at heating the room with a wood burner which sounds a cosy option (as well as through radiator).

My treadmill has arrived and is in a huge box waiting to be unpacked. Not being able to get to the gym these days, the treadmill is my way of trying to get back onto some kind of fitness regime. I'm looking forward to using it.

Today Alison and I are off to Stratford to see The Tempest which has had excellent reviews which means I should only sleep through about a quarter of it.
