Kitchen

[bugshaw]

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!

Goodluck!

I am doing tonnes of DIY right now and clearing up before hand is one thing I hate.

I think 'kickboards' are on washing machines and dishwashers (and often hide the filter thingy) and 'plinths' are for cupboards.

I'm now imagining teetering towers of glittering spatulas topped with coronas of tiny coffee spoons advancing across the top of your dining table, wooden spoons rat-tatting a marching song to urge them forward until they spill over the table edge and crash clattering onto the floor.
So velly solly - don't know what came over me
