Moaning aside about 'the Beast' still being in Italy; life is pretty good. Our investment in the Capital is coming along nicely. Quality furnishings and refurbishment with an annual 3.57% return. Which of course is better than the banks on two accounts: (1) a higher percentage rate, and (2) my money doesn't line the pockets of some greedy banker through his annual bonus.
The other plus side is the price of goods in B&Q. I was well pleased with the White Ripple Tiles at around £6.98 a box. But when we applied them to the wall, I was wondering how we put up so many from one box. Then I checked the small print and found that there was 1.2 sq/m per box and not 1. What a bargain, well done B&Q! I'm now on the cuts from the new false wall that hides the plumbing and the electrics on the shower end, and into the old brick wall. Not an easy job, but hey ho, life is good.
