A Thursday...and a wallpapering...

We are deep into wallpapering Kelly's Kitchen. It's a red and white pattern of drawings done centuries ago as news for the masses. Trois du Joyes or some-such. The overall tone is that of a very light pink. The resuly is that the kitchen is now very bright and alive compared to the orange and dirty walls that were extant before. I like it and so does Kelly. She chose a red and beige tile as the replacement for the elcheapo white tile on the walls before. The floor is complete, a dark red, slightly glossy and quite a match for the wallpaper actually. We have done about 2/3 rds of the wall area and need yet to do the tile areas and hand the new (olde) overhead cabinet. The end result will be quite a nice upgrade I think especially after the new counter is put into place.

Phil came by a few days ago and felt that our electical might just have a fuse pane somewhere we haven't looked. Kelly thought she saw a beige box-like item above the EDF equipment in the main hallway but no such luck. I climbed a ladder and pulled back the curtains and no...nothing but wiring, no fuse box, no circuit breakers either. Phil wants to come to discuss our long lost electrical circuit so we've invited him to lunch but there hasn't been a reply yet. We'll fatten him up in exchange for his ideas on how we solve this mystery outage.

It's been raining...the place needs it alright...hope it continues.

Dinner tonight was Pasta Norma; eggplant, tomatoes, onions, capers, celery, white wine, sugar, stock...veal tonight, vinegar...all the veges cut coarsely and sauted individually then combined. It was delicious but Kelly wasn't very enthusiastic. Oh well.

Later!
