Getting warmer…
Gary The Gas Man finally prevailed against the oddness of our previous central heating system, so that we are now basking in the warmth and efficiency of a new boiler and the knowledge that we no longer need to put the water on hours before we might possibly want to have a bath. Yay!
The kitchen is looking much closer to being done - floor and wall tiles are down and up respectively and just need grouting, and then it’s cupboard doors, repairing the bit of wall from which Gary The Gas Man removed the (wonkily fitted) original heating controls, and not really a huge amount else.
By way of celebration, earlier I gathered what ingredients and equipment I could ferret out of the smaller spare room (where the surviving contents of the kitchen cupboards that were water damaged went) and conducted a coconut-related experiment:
Yum. Coconut experiment declared a success to be repeated.
I made more yarn, too:
Extremely soft and squishy merino this time, plied into a result that looks remarkably pudding-like.
