The Excitement of Live Blogging!
Today we are having all the crappy old doors in our house taken away, and nice new doors installed. Huzzah! I have no doubt this will lift the family's spirits no end.
I had planned to live blog the whole thing, but after the initial excitement of all the old doors being removed not much is happening. Some sawing, hammering, breaking glass etc, but that's about it.
UPDATE! Some doors have gone up. There was a minor crisis when one of the doors was thought to have been the wrong size, but it was a false alarm. THANK GOD.
UPDATE!! Granted, live blogging is supposed to be "live" for maximum effect, but my connection was playing up last night so this will have to do.
*Ahem*
Well, the doors are up and many, if not all, have smart new handles to facilitate their opening and closing. I tested one door by pretending to slam it repeatedly against the tradesman's head, shouting "you miserable cur, you expect to be paid for this shoddy workmanship" but then he saw me and I had to pretend I was shouting at the cat. Anyway, I gave him his money and he finally went away, leaving us alone with our new doors. At the time of writing, I have used several.

My house has only seven internal doors, if one doesn't include the largely ornamental french doors between the living room and the kitchen. There used to be eight, but one of them appears to have been stolen.
I am jealous of you and your new doors.

I had new windows put up in my flat, with it all being finished last week. I had windows and now I have new windows! It's enough to make a man dizzy.
