A good day. Oh yes.

2986708607_4721977504_m.jpgMy birthday was rather pleasant. Woken with kisses, toasted bagels with Marmite and scrambled eggs and a pile of presents; three of which turned out to be a pair of champagne glasses and two mini bottles of Moët. Yum!

We slobbed around most of the day, scoffing the leftover cake and roast lamb from the weekend, watching the first few episodes of the first series of The West Wing (I've been hankering after that for the last few weeks during the build-up to the US elections) and working our way through a bottle of champagne. Eventually we hauled ass out of the house to a Thai restaurant in Fulham for dinner which was absolutely heavenly - I had rice-paper-wrapped prawns with sweet chilli sauce, followed by duck in red curry with jasmine rice. A nice pot of tea followed at home once we'd battled through the freezing rain to get home and *bing* there appeared a chocolate encrusted, toffee cake! *explode*

It was such a good idea to take the day off and just do pretty much nothing but eat and drink nice things and snuggle up. Mmmm-mmm!

Finished study!

2949139647_825cb9edfa_m.jpgThe study is finished! Though the photo isn't awfully useful for showing it off I had the 50mm lens on so couldn't fit much in frame. Yeah yeah I should have bothered to get the 17-85mm lens, but it was too late for a comparison with the earlier photo with no carpet. Anyhoo. Done! The walls came out darker than we'd expected, but I think it looks OK.

Today was very busy; went to the tip with the carpet cutoffs and a few other bits, did the shopping and put it all away, scrubbed down and painted the porch, sanded the lounge door so that it closes properly, did a load of washing, de-stained the kitchen sink and drainer, vacuumed the ground floor and I'm about to cook dinner...

Slightly achey now and a bit knackered, but very satisfied!
