Back from Becky & Tony's wedding

That was a long day - 9am-3am all told - but it was lovely to be at the wedding of Becky Duty and Tony Hills this weekend, along with Lesley, who was Maid of Honour, Anne, Grouse, Jon Crew, Gaspode and Rita, Misha and Zoe, David and Sarah Brider, and everybody else... It was like half of Redemption had turned up!

Here's to a Happy Ever After for them.

Relieving my wife of domestic command

Yeah, so, I've properly relieved Lesley of command domestically, and told her to let me do what I bloody want and need to do with the house, and to obey instructions- which I hate to do cos you probably know how much I fucking hate that man-in-charge-of-the-woman shit.

Though I should point out that the instructions are "don't get in the way" kind of instructions rather than "you clean this" sorts....

House day 1

Well, in the evening I did manage to get rid of a couple of binbags worth of part-empty bubble bath and makeup from the bathroom - well, originally from the bathroom, but which Lesley had brought down and stashed behind my chair in the living room the other day - and the trashed laundry basket and shopping bag they were all in.

I alse figure that I'm going to remove a set of kitchen carpet tiles and replace the lino, and find out if there's hardwood boards under the stair carpet, cos if there are, the carpet's coming off and dark woodstain going on.

Also have decided on new bedroom paint colour... It's helpful that there's a decorating shop at the end of our road! (Even though it's the logical place to put a pub instead.)
