Oh, and I'm in the new loft! The floor is still not finished but it's finished enough for me to have moved my desk and some shelves up here. So here I am, with felt pads at the bottom of the furniture to protect the wood laminate flooring (I love the flooring) and the broadband cable snaking its dangerous way up stairs and along walls and the view, my god, the view. It's like perching in an eyrie!
And the best thing: I'm out of the children's room. Oh, what a boon.
Drawback: my work surface is tiny and wobbly. The loft conversion has thrown us into mega-debt so there is no money to buy a new desk. My present arrangement consists of a narrow short board laid across two trestles. it sags in the middle and I fear for the safety of my iMac.
Still: I look up and I see rooftops and foliage and a flag and a white sky and an antenna and some flowers in a tree and the bottom of our garden and a pigeon balanced on a vertical branch.
