The Country

We're settling in to Orchard Cottage. Very exciting to have a dishwasher. News the bed is on its way, due Wednesday. That will be lovely.
I've set up my new I(c)kea desk. It's a flat space and I'm saving my money for a good chair. Monica has been doing some research on finding second hand Aeron chairs.
Lovely having a work place that isn't the kitchen table.
I had some work done to the A(ce)stra and it sucks quite a lot less. Changing gear, for example, is no longer an epic battle of strength and will. The brakes aren't nearly as squeaky as they were either. Enjoying driving about, it is fun on these little roads.
Switzerland next week and after that it will be head down till Christmas to get a lot done on Well Informed Limited and Writer's Residence.
Just a few things left to find to tick off the furniture list, a sofa and a sofa bed, a couple of beside tables and a coffee table. Hopefully find some good second hand wooden products and have no idea where we'll find the sofas...
Living in the country affords a very different pace of life. People are friendly and have time to chat. That's quite hard to cope with after London. I have to force myself to slow down and appreciate it rather than getting impatient to be away and on to the next thing. And I think I was pretty laid back compared to most city types.
Time for sleep.
