Am currently 'trapped' in my kitchen as the plasterers have now moved on the hallway and I'm cut off from the outside world by scaffolding and plastic sheeting. The hall is the last room to do but it is probably the largest, highest and most complicated as the ceiling is currently wooden beams and cane. There is dust everywhere!
It has given me the opportunity though to thoroughly clean the kitchen in preparation for the weekend arrivals. This has involved opening the fridge for the first time since it was switched off 2 weeks ago (due to the power issues). I think its fair to say that NASA could have saved millions if they'd gone to my fridge instead of Mars in their search for alien life-forms...
Hot news today is that my Tempranillo grapes (due Friday) are apparently arriving TODAY as bad weather is predicted for Friday which would preclude any harvesting. Luckily, all is ready for their arrival. Now means though that as they have to 'sit' for 5 days before pressing (in order to let the skins colour the juice), it will now be pressing day on Monday. Should be an interesting first full day for my visitors!. In the meantime I know I have to keep agitating the grapes so I might be taking my shoes and socks off!
