Lists about the house

I've had such a lazy day today - I haven't even left the house. On a day at home there are of course plenty of things I could be doing (should be doing perhaps). Our house is one big endless lists of jobs....

• Find out what's causing the smell of damp by the front door
• Find a builder to re-point the back walls
• Get the pane of glass in the sitting room door fixed
• Put wall filler in the holes in Cam's wall that appeared when his shelves fell down
• Paint the loft hatch (G seems to have a desire to do this for some reason)
• Buy a new grate for the dining room fireplace
• Plumb in a water butt
• Re-plaster, re-paint and re-carpet the whole darn building

But frankly, reading the Saturday papers, listening to my iPod, doing jigsaws with O and drinking endless cups of coffee is much more fun.

I love our house and sometimes doubt I'll ever be able to bring myself to sell it or live somewhere else.

• It has sash windows
• The front railings were made for the house from the old Victorian railings of the church at the top of the road
• The children were born here
• Our neighbours are lovely
• It has window ledges deep enough for me to put pots of geraniums on
• We can have proper fires in the winter.

Tomorrow I shall go out, but tonight I think I will have another glass of cider and sit in my house.
