All I Have to Say About Work Is…

You’d be hard pressed to find a house that’s bustling more than ours, I’m happy to report.

I’m applying the final coats of varnish on some shelves like a mad woman…

And Martin’s… well he says he’s working on the baseboard, though it’s very possible he’s passed out from exhaustion.

Varnishing and painting are my all-time favorite home projects.  We turn on our favorite music, and I lose myself.  It’s rather embarrassing.  I finally have the courage to answer the phone when Germans call us, and I don’t even notice the phone ringing on the other side of the tarp.  It’s nice when simple work can take you away from everything.  So if you don’t hear much from me, this may be why.
