Progress report

Two days in and my new office has been transformed. It's amazing what a coat of paint does. My beloved P and a friend have been working their socks off. The painting was finished by lunchtime and the new floor is almost laid. Tomorrow, P is building new shelves for me for my work files and reference books. Thursday I should be able to move back in. Which is a good thing, as I'm not keen on being in the front room where passers by can see me.

The project I was expecting fell through, but a potential client I've been waiting weeks to hear from has finally called. I smell work early next year.

It's been a quiet day. Christmas is in the air and I'll be downing tools shortly until 2007.
