Kitchen

It is quite nice to have sawing and electric screwdriver noises coming from the kitchen and it not be yourself having to make them. The carpenter says the same about people typing things into computers. It is good that we do not have each other's jobs. It took me 40 minutes last night to clear the kitchen ready for them. It is a fiddly job to empty drawers, especially when you don't really have anywhere to put things. Anyone who has lived with me will be able to imagine the teetering piles of carefully-balanced spatulas in the dining room.

Apparently the bits of wood that run along the bottom of cupboards are called "plinths". I thought they were "kickboards". Everything has a name!
