As Christmas nears I know that Steve and the boys have another job to finish and I am not expecting too much to happen over the next days. Today, however, more of the kitchen was assembled. One piece has had to be returned because apparently it has been scratched or knocked in some way. I am relieved that the colour of the cupboards is fine, if a bit wishywashy. Depending on the light, it does look white sometimes but to the discerning eye, there is a definite tone of greeny/grey! I like the handles too. Phew!
The metal vertical suports have been modified since I was last there. These are the steel frames which would allow the building to be raised many storeys. These frames exist in the first sky scrapers e.g. the Chrysler Building. Anyway, we have just shortened these by 10 cm so they can fit underneath the floor boards. There must have been oxy torches in use, (something like that is the technical term), in here last week to cut them off.

And on the home front, we are doing many "last time in Stocko..." things. The last Christmas. The last New Year. The twelfth last walk out the Breakwall etc. So I took some pics of Lester's last crop of agapanthus. I swear he has names for them all and will miss them dearly. The bees did not like the intrusion though!
