Mmm having an oven is delicious

Roast duck with tomato, mushroom and onion gravy. Garlic mashed potatoes. YUUUUMMMM.

I'd forgotten how nice it was...

Oh, to cook with gas! T0 have an oven! To have things that are crispy and roasted! We have been living with just the steamer since we moved in, and although it was lovely (and healthy) nothing beats a nice roast potato. So, for our first meal in the new oven, we had roast potatoes, salmon and asparagus. YUM. The joy of food porn is back! I think I might bake some bread this week. I can make soup! I can make pizza! Lasagna! Roast chicken! Ohhhh, these delights have been missing from my life for too long. Tonight's meal will be remembered for all my life.

We have an oven

Oh my God. At last. Isn't it pretty? We just need to get it fitted now...

Repainting

Now that the bedroom is (mostly) painted, we have, of course, decided we don't like the colour. It is too dark. So we got some samples last weekend and painted some squares on the wall. I like the bottom left one best. So, I think that's the next thing to do...

Deconstruction

So, taking things down is a lot more fun (and way easier) than putting things up. Today was a LOT of fun. We took down the weird cupboard in the hallway and the uneven shelf in the corridor. The walls are completely fucked now, and we can no longer postpone the inevitable - we need a man to come and do some plastering. I guess that is the next step. Now how does one find a plasterer??
