Another day of unpacking, finding homes for various items, building bookcases, searching for the lost box of bunk bed hardware. Somehow in the process of packing the hardware necessary for assembling the girls’ bunk beds was put in such a safe place that it cannot be found. On with other things. Where to locate the pantry? Can we get some wire shelving to make the kitchen cabinets hold more? Why isn’t there enough kitchen cabinet space? Then late in the afternoon a most wonderful thing! The brand new kitchen appliances arrived. A range and a refrigerator! Wonder of modern living wonders. Dishwasher? Yes, actually, there are multiple dishwashers in the house but all of the human kind, some still in training. Dining room table actually usable. Kitchen table in place but currently in use for organizing stuff. The house is looking reasonable. Not quite settled but much more functional. Life is good!
Caligula at Strawberry Hill
The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
