Last night was extremely windy (weather, not bean-related) and all the gaps round the partially installed windows and the unbricked fireplaces made lots of flarping and woo-ing noises, Incubi and Succubi competing with Billy Wind (but not Jack Frost).
The Hobbits have moved, and have now spent one week in their new abode, as have we. But if they no longer live under the Hill in the Shire, do they still qualify as Hobbits?
Anyway, they finally answered the phone today (can't always be at bingo night) although not without incident as they have to climb over or otherwise negotiate a slalom of half-unpacked boxes to reach the phone point.
After school (9/12 on spellings) I got to Level 5 on the Phineas & Ferb computer game after we'd laid down some protective cardboard layers over the deadly floorboards. They're really loud and clanky and even the Builder tripped up on one so our temporary floor covering should improve things.
Then things got funny when Buds' glasses broke, from metal fatigue. After we'd beaten him up so many times, the metal frame just gave up, leaving him without a left eye. Funny that, because the spare pair are missing the right eye for the same reason.
I had a bonus bath fizzernight because the builders will destroy the super-retro-ultra-crundy 1950s bathroom next week, and it's one of those things I'll miss. We have a couple of strange items that we'll record pictorially in the next few days (not bathtime-related).
