Date night

Sanding

I’m working from home so that I can be around for the sanding guys.

Mornings are also full of meetings.

The noise of hammering first thing morning as they knocked the slithers in was absolutely beyond! Then the sanding began. The noise cancelling headphones seem to cope better with the sanding than when the random banging.

Sometimes I forget to put my mic on mute in meetings and I had one comment of “is somebody being shot?”, when’s another colleague ask me to turn my vibrator off!

I am craving silence again!

It’s going to be worth it: I can see that the floors are really going to be gorgeous.

Not staying here?

I went into the garden lunchtime to find my husband. It seems that he was hiding out there all morning because he didn’t think he could walk through the lounge.

I had my lunch, then I said that I had wanted to hold him all morning. He said that he wanted to be held, but was afraid to ask.

So I sat on the step of the shed and gestured for him to come to me; we sat with his neck to my front with my arms around him and talked a little.

He started by saying that it’s a shame that we’re putting such effort into the floor when we’ve not decided whether we are staying here.

I was a little surprised after what he’d been saying about splitting the lounge/diner with one area for each of us.

He then really surprised me by saying that of all the options of presented him with that he preferred us having a flat each!

Well, you could have knocked me down with a feather! I was not expecting that.

Neither was I expecting to feel what I read feeling. Indeed, I wasn’t even sure what I was feeling until I realised that my eyes were most: I felt sad. Although I couldn’t explain further why it what kind of sadness it was.

We talked a little about the options, of possibly buying shared-ownership flats. One thing is certain: one of the flats has to be able to accommodate Darcy.

The day after

Beautiful

We have to walk on it bare foot or in socks for a few days.

Tired

The noise is grinding me down a little – even with my noise suppressing headphones! It makes concentrating on anything so difficult.

The effect is when though.

Foolishly, I had a latte last night when we went out for our date – as a result I didn’t get to sleep as quickly as I usually do.
