Lots and lots of cutting, thankfully these tiles are much easier to cut than the bedroom tiles. […]

All these hassles with the kitchen has played havoc with our training schedule, perhaps just as well because I think we were overdoing it just a little.

To our horror Ellie discovered last night that the melted butter in her frying pan was running to one side. Verdict: new kitchen top not level. Of course we pointed this out to Vernon this morning and all hell broke lose, the installer of the granite was called and accusations, threats and shouting ensued with
Quite a day, first of all we only got to bed close to midnight after a very good show by Robin Auld at the Uptown theatre and then watch the tail end of Arsenal beating Liverpool so to get up at six for our cycle run was a bit hard. In fact, looking at the
