Merry Xmas

The Skater reckons that the Père Noël has brought me the biggest Kapla set in the whole world. A day in advance, the sleigh, pulled by four nervous reindeer, their antlers festonned with glittering frost from the Siberian forest, pulled up outside the Maison Camy to deliver 2km of Russian larch.


It's more or less a year since The Client moved into the Maison Camy and two years since the first blog entry. This time last year the Xmas tree was improvised from a stepladder. There's still a fair amount of improvisation involved in the living arrangements but things are moving in the right direction. The parquet next month will double the habitable surface area. The façade cladding will add a few degrees to the internal temperature.

The best of all seasons greetings to all the visitors to the Maison Camy and especially to those who've spiced things up with their comments; mdw, MOA and TOA and Petunia Girl, - also thank you to those who've offered the occasional encouragement that reassures me I'm not talking to myself. Wherever you are in the world have a good one.
