I think we’re nearly ready to move on …
What’s going on in the ERK household?
Well I’ll level with you. I’ve been so darned busy recently with Rotten Hill Gang (a post on my other blog that includes nice pics from a stage at Notting Hill Carnival) that I haven’t had a moment to call my own so I’ve had no time to write . Which is pretty lucky really because nothing much has happened here.
So why all the excitement now?
Well for some time now we’re been sleeping in the living room awaiting the finishing touches on the bedroom. This has had the interesting effect that Ray’s shoes, which are normally piled up all over the bedroom floor have, for the past few months, been piled up all over the kitchen and dining area. My recollection of what our beautiful old, solid wood dining table looks like is dim and walking from the living room (also currently full of items more normally associated with a bedroom) to the one working bathroom means traversing an assault course of footwear, bags, the holes in the floor, more footwear, some books and a box of records. There is barely room to plant a foot for each step required.
So why all the excitement NOW?
Are yes that. Well from my position in the office I can hear all sorts of banging, wheezing, grunting and the odd bit of swearing coming from the bedroom. No, there isn’t a geriatric porn movie in production, it’s Ray finally finishing the painting of our new fitted wardrobes. She just called me in there to look and it’s beeyootiful!
Woohoo!!
Woohoo indeed. The mattress on the poor sofa in the living room cannae take any more Captain! Nor can our backs. All that remains now is to get the wonderful Farouk to weld part of our bed (the bed is a work of art that deserves a separate article and shall have one) back together and we can move in, disappear the shoes into the wardrobe (in my dreams I suspect) and press on with the kitchen. Woohoo!
