Lots has been done. Lots is getting done.
Work on the garden steadily continues. Our electrician removed lots of old underground cabling from the garden yesterday, clearing the way for new cables to go in. We still have to pick out new lighting fixtures, though.
The garden path is mostly laid now. The bricks look really nice, composed, as they are, by four subtly different colours.
I’ve completed and submitted our taxes for 2007. Like last year, I commend the Belastingdienst for making a Linux version of the income tax return program available.
The new wireless Sonos zone that I set up in the conservatory last month is now wired. Our electrician got into the crawl space under the house today and pulled a cable to hook up the second network port. The Sonos ZP-100 is now plugged into this, providing a 4 port switch at the back, into which Sarah can now plug her laptop and enjoy faster, reliable network use.
A clock thermostat has been fitted in the main bathroom. This avoids having the floor heating turned on all the time. I’ve no idea why the previous owner of the house didn’t have one fitted. The floor heating on the ground and second floors has always had clock thermostats.
The crosstrainer I ordered is apparently in short supply. The Dutch distributor doesn’t have one to send to the shop where I ordered it, so my unit was unfortunately not delivered today. Hopefully, it will arrive next week.
I’ve started programming in earnest again. It feels good. I’ll write more on this separately another time, as I’m under the weather and about to go to bed.
