Floorboards up

ailbheToday Rob took up floorboards and moved furniture and peered into dark cavities while I lay in bed. I appear to have successfully fought off the bug that gave the children their stomach troubles - though we'll see how I am tomorrow - and he has a very serious Plan of Campaign for getting a light into the children's play corner. We went out and bought a junction box, some 1mm2 cable, a pull-cord switch, and a light fitting. We came home and had dinner and bedtimes. There's not a lot more he could do today so he isn't.
I read What Katy Did at School and What Katy Did Next and I think they are less awful than the first one but still full of people who... just don't measure up to Anne Shirley and Jo March, in terms of showing a little human nastiness occasionally. All that mad untrammelled virtue is a bit wearing.
Tomorrow we hope to finish the wiring and go swimming. I need to find another book to read.
