An update

We haven't posted a lot lately, and yes, we are still incredibly lazy and taking our sweet time with everything. BUT! That's not to say that we haven't been doing things. We have, really.

We have had the carpet man round for measuring and quoting.
Sisal (left) vs. Seagrass (right). We're leaning towards Seagrass at the minute, but can't do anything until we've painted the skirting boards.

We have started composting as part of our drive to only have one Tesco bin bag worth of rubbish each week:

I wanted to try my hand at composting, and the Bokashi bin system has been highly recommended. Once the compost is ready (it takes around 2 weeks), I'll be transporting it to the work balcony gardens. The bins also produce a liquid apparently, which is good for feeding plants, so I'll be using that instead of baby bio.
Our first round of vegetable peelings goes in the new composting bin.

We've been deep-cleaning:

We finally bought a proper hoover (instead of the crappy dustbuster that hasn't worked well for years). Yesterday we started on the disgusting, but necessary, project of digging all the dust out from between the floorboards. We did 1/3 of the living room yesterday evening, which produced around 1/3 of a Tesco bag full of dust. YUCK!

I've been growing plants:

And framing some Chinese art:

I picked this up in Guangzhou as a slightly less touristy than usual gift for Steph.

Ridiculously, this frame came in this box:

More pics and posts to come soon.
