My kitchen cabinets have gone up! They're all tall and white. I still have to finish painting the doors so's I can actually cook without getting spatters under the paint, and then do the shelves and insides... but we're getting there. Also, I am assured that the other shelves being put up can be finished today. Yay.
Bank holiday w'end consisted mostly of painting with interludes of putting up wardrobes and things, and quite a bit of gardening; B. did most of the work in the garden, and now it looks, well, like a garden. I've got a prostrate rosemary, and water irises, and a holly, and raspberries, and violets, and all sorts of good things. Yay. (We did manage to slope off for a bit of shopping and a Chinese lunch.)

house, books
