There was progress this week.
Actual, visible progress.
First, the invisible:
Mon mari redid the phone wiring. I no longer have cables strung all over the floor.
Now they're strung all over the floor upstairs.
I'd go up to show you… But I don't want to.
We bought a bathroom door. That's exciting.
Of course, it would provide even more privacy if there were walls.
But there will be walls…
See? The studs are in. We use metal studs here.
Can the wall board be far behind?
The tiles are being cut as I type.
Okay, I'm reaching a bit about the visible progress….
We take what we can and are happy!
If you are looking for a fast, healthy dinner this will make you happy.
Stir-fries don't have to be 'Asian'….
Chunky Turkey Hash
1 potato
2 carrots
2 stalks celery

4oz (125gr) mushrooms
2 cloves garlic
10oz (300gr) turkey tenderloin or cutlets
4 tsp olive oil
1/4 cup chicken stock
3 tbs ketchup

Stir-fry until vegetables are lightly browned. Return everything to pan and heat through. Add soy sauce, mustard. oregano, stock and ketchup and heat through, stirring constantly, 2 – 3 minutes over medium heat. Serve.
And we're off to Bordeaux to buy wall board…. Yippee!!!!
Progress is definitely happening in 2009!!!!!!!
Love the toilet even without walls! I suppose it might be warmer as well as private with door and walls.
It’s happening!!
I am in awe of your mari, who apparently can do absolutely anything! Congratulate him for me!
This definitely looks like progress — and who needs walls, really, as long as you have a toilet, and a shower (almost)!
Val, yes progress… we hope!
Tanna, who needs walls!
Zoomie, I’ll pass on the kind words. He can use them!
Lydia, yeah, if we had walls how would the heat get in… If we had heat!
