It's very satisfying when a day has passed and you feel you have actually managed to achieve something in work. Today has been such a day. I have had at least three meetings this morning and this afternoon when decisions were made which you hope will result in some progress. So much time is spent, or if your not careful can be spent, in maintenance, just keeping the wheels turning, which I find frustrating. So it is particularly pleasing when you feel that decisions have been made during a day's work, or pieces have been put in place which will take you forward.
Our efforts to reorganise our house so that we have more room has taken another step forward today in that we have had a very large bookcase / cupboard taken from our front room to Bethan and David's house in Ripley. We are trying to downsize our furniture and get rid of things that are unnecessary so that our living room has more room for living. Getting rid of the bookcase has created a great feeling of space, next to go is the enormous settee that dominates the room, to be replaced, when we can afford it, by a smaller two seater. Two large marble coffee tables are due to go and my much loved, but oversized, music centre will be replaced by a mini version. The wood burner is to be installed in 5 days time and then we can put the carpet back, paint the chimney breast (not in that order) and things will almost be comfortable again. One of the real highlights of the day was meeting two young, very pleasant, friendly, polite and hardworking removal men who came to take the bookcase to Bethan's. They were professional and went out of their way to make sure I was pleased with the standard of their work. Quite a nice day really.
