Modest achievements

Before builder Hemen fitted the door from the hall to the new ex-garage room, he obligingly stripped off the wallpaper from that stretch of wall.  We did toy with just slapping on some paint, but found some textured wallpaper that was close enough to the original, and hung it this morning.  Nice to know that we are still capable thereof, but I suspect my joints and vestigial muscles will tell me about it in the morning.  No word from window man, but we expect a call on Thursday to say whether has has received the glazing - evidently the frame is made.  The good news is that the skip was taken away this morning by a friendly young woman, so we now just need to sweep and hose down the drive, which is looking distinctly manky.

Google seems unwilling to let me upload the photo I took earlier of our first hollyhock flower.  You can find it on my Facebook page.  Anyway, it is the first to flower of the seedlings we were given last year by Celia and Andy, whose seedlings have evidently yet to flower.  We must be getting something right.
