Stunned And Amazed

Yesterday morning I had what I can really only describe as a Changing Rooms moment. Except that I used words that you're not supposed to use when Carol Smilie says "Open Your Eyes!".

Chris and Brian are staying at my place at the moment while they decide what they're going to do in the long term about where they live, and they offered to do some bits and pieces around the place while they're there.

These are the kind of things I've wanted to do myself for a while but not got round to because of time constraints more than anything.

I went round yesterday to catch up with them and found the place transformed. They've redecorated, put down a new floor, reorganised the kitchen and changed the worktops and sink, and generally made the place look like a new flat. I love every single thing they've done.

I knew everything they were thinking of, but had simply not expected them to get anything like as far in the time.

It puts my inertia on the matter to shame.

Thank you both *so* much.
