House update

Been a bright morning but getting dull now - still, I got some chips and dents around the doors and windows filled...

Also meant to say the other day that we got some old wooden bookcases in the bedroom replaced with steel and glass ones, which are nicer and cleaner, but would have went together a lot easier if the fucking 5mm screws to hold them together had been included. Luckily I had some.

Of course, having gone for the bare dark wood look on the staircase, and laid nice royal blue carpets on hall and landing to replace the shitty biege ones, my mother in law has started insisting she wants to buy us a stair carpet and installation (because she remembers being unable to afford stair carpet in the 1940s and doesn't seem to get that this is an aesthetic and cleanability choice) and hall carpet because she doesn't like blue. She wants red. Which would clash with everything.

We're gently trying to persuade her that if she wants a red hall carpet she can have one in the house she just moved into, and not in ours!

Submarine Sunday- Hymn To Red October

Hymn To Red October, aka the theme to The Hunt For Red October, the first movie based on a work by the late Tom Clancy, who died a few days ago. I actually meant to post this on Thursday (just cos it was October 17th, y'know)

"Basil Poledouris - Hymn To Red October" (Watch on YouTube)
