ailbheWe made it through almost the whole weekend before FIL made a noxious remark about Muslims. Progress! We left shortly after breakfast and while on the train realised we'd be arriving in east London ish area about lunchtime, so we called Dave and had him meet us at the station for lunch. Then we tubed and trained and taxied home, parked an exhausted Linnea in front of the telly, and decided to tear up the carpet.
It was done and advertised on Freecycle by dinnertime, so we had dinner and checked email and did laundry and read LJ and so on. The dining room is now much simpler to maintain, though a little draughty. M of M&L swears the draught is bearable so we'll give it a while; if we can't bear it we'll get cork tiles installed in December while I'm away with the babies, and if we can bear it Rob will paint it white while I'm away. Something neutral we can dump rugs on is the idea. Washable rugs that will fit in a laundrette machine.
It's a joy and a delight to wipe spilled dinner off a wooden floor. Gods I hate carpets. I expect my sinuses to express their appreciation within the week, too.
