We're cracking on in this apartment.

After a leisurely start Terry and I went down to the garage and brought up the kitchen tiles. And then Terry set off and tiled one of the walls in the kitchen. Just like that! There's another few places on the other walls to tile, and then it will all need to be grouted, but it was impressive all  the same.

Liz bravely attacked the big bedroom and gave it a thorough cleaning and polishing. I can't believe how dirty that had become and how much dust there was since I relaid the floor back in 2001.

Me, I emptied the 3rd bedroom of all of the rubbish so that there's now room to move about in there. That needs some polyfilla in the walls and then a thorough clean before Liz and I can start to decorate it. I've also been dismantling the furniture in the hall and I made a start on the cupboard under the stairs.

Another huge pile of rubbish found its way into the skips today. I can't believe how much stuff has accumulated here since I moved in, in May 2000. I do recall that I moved here with a half-empty Luton Transit. I reckon I've thrown that much out in the last couple of days and there is still more to go. But I'm impressed with all of the work so far.
