Now that we have our fire in operation, the main living room has been abandoned in favour of the dining/family room. What's that, dear readers? A closer photograph of the darling Millie? Why of course.
There have, however, been no curtains in the room since we moved in. Well, there were some for a very short time. They were black and attached to the rods by large eyelets similar to the picture below, but even more tastelessly ugly.
Today we remedied the situation. Hanging curtains is a tedious business, but I have to say these ones from Curtain Studio are the best ready-mades I've dealt with. Instead of thermal backing they have actual separate linings and sit much more nicely. I think the fullness of the gathering will easily provide adequate thermal properties.
I also managed to fit in a visit to the Underground Market that is coming out of the underground for a once-monthly visit to the Dowse - a much nicer setting. Had lunch at the Kotuku cafe that has risen from the ashes at the Waiwhetu Marae - quite nice, but not quite Tiki Lounge nice. And so another weekend has flown by ... sigh ...
Wow! That Apple screen looks bigger than the TV.
ReplyDeleteI really like the juxtaposition of the old and the new with the computer on top of the Singer sewing machine table.
My mother had one of those (I wish we had kept it).
We've had to abandon the flat screen tv in the other room and are getting telstraclear through a sender to the old crt - will have to re-think that. The Mac is great, but the sun is going down on desktops. Next one will be a notebook. I hear you are in town later in the week, maybe our paths will cross ....
