Fun night out, lovely food (chicken and bacon kebabs with garlic, tomato and basil) and good company. I was chauffered home and realised that the kitchen was disgusting and there was more than a little washing that needed to be done. So, regardless of my tiredness I have done all of these jobs, the dining room looks vaguely presentable again and the dishes are washed. Dad was already in bed by the time I was home, but I may see him in the am.

Now I need to organise my bedroom a little and return all of the stuff to it (from its storage in the living room) and then my house will be on its way back to normal. Although that is an abitrary thing to say really, since once a month it is in some degree of disruption while I take a mind to decorate or re-organise. At least now its a lot closer to what I had planned. One day it will be just as I want - and then I'll move!
