Nope this ain’t the Mrs smiling, this is a grimace from someone who hates dirty sticky fingers, with exactly that.

After another long tiring stressful week, Mrs Fogg stopped to pick up a Chinese takeaway only to find they do whole lobster on noodles, so we had to try it, although it’s finger eating only. The grimace was also accompanied by squeals of yuck, horrible, grrr and I hate this. The lobster was lovelly all the same.

The finished article. One room down, many more to go.

Ha, food at long last, sirloin steak and scallops in garlic butter. Yum Yum

It’s a nice day so Mrs Fogg convinced me to walk the canal to Sutton for a drink and lunch at the St.Vincents, a mere 6 miles away. Apart from it took 1hr 45 min and we arrived at 3 when it was closing. Lovelly so what did lunch consist of, a bag of nuts each and only an 1hr 45 walk back for food. Well planned.

Perfect for Hide n Seek. Seconds of endless fun.

So Day One done, frame in place, not too bad, will all be completed during Mrs Fogg’s shift on Monday, or will it?

Busy work this, must be time for lunch now, but we are moving slowly.

Since the Mrs is working all weekend again somewhere, she can see the steady progress of the build from our oh so slow builders. Arrived 8.20am and just finished their first half hour tea break (wouldn’t that be nice eh).

Still ever onward and upwards.

So wardrobe day 1, the install. Things are starting to happen. Room painted and ready and now they start the install of 4.5m of floor to ceiling fitted robes.

Pictures as it happens (how exciting is that).
