New-look office for Nick

Not a very exciting day today, although the weather has been quite unusual…lots of rain throughout the day, and lots of sunshine too. At times the sea was veiled in mist, at other times its usual bright, sparkling blue. Sometimes the rain would fall so lightly the drops would barely reach the ground before the wind carried them away, from a seemingly blue sky. Very interesting to observe. The most exciting part of today, particularly from Nick’s perspective, is a ‘new’ carpet in his office. It was donated to the church by someone, and since it is a better carpet than the existing one in his office, he decided to swap them, and use his old one for the schoolroom. It was a major undertaking to achieve the swap though, since we had to first move all the books of his bookshelf (this he did mostly by himself), and then take all the furniture out, and there is quite a lot. Then we had to roll his carpet up, heft it downstairs and out the back door, around the back into the schoolroom, and bring the new one in, in reverse order. And may I say that carpets are heavy! Once the new one was in and vacuumed, everything had to be moved in again. Well, he is very pleased with the result, and I must say that it looks good. The next job is to paint, but this will wait until at least next month. I’m thinking along the lines of dado railing and two-tone walls, but we’ll see.
