Adventures in renovation land. We had no hot water this morning - suspicious after plumber working here yesterday. The chippie arrived and fixed it.

We have a bath and plumbing rough in. Everything in the places I wanted them. If the designers say no ask the tradies. Tomorrow we’ll have a floor and plastering starting soon. Our living room is much better minus the bath. 🛀

Just back from grocery shopping, I know where everyone is - at the food shops. Still not too warm. Hibernating now. 🛒

Dinner tonight was papas à la huancaína, a Peruvian dish which is great in hot weather, I also add peanuts which apparently is common in Venezuela. 🇻🇪 🇵🇪

End of first week and chippy not here today. Awaiting the plumber rough in next week. Nice to have a morning off. House seems very quiet. 🤫

Dinner tonight was tuna mornay with veggies, brown rice & salad. I have made it eaten in many, many years but it hit the spot. Will make again.

Day 1 of reno. Hardly game to say it went very smoothly and the chippies are very nice and easy to have in the house. They finished early, cleaned up which feels like a bonus.

We’re just about finished moving furniture and getting ready for reno starting tomorrow morning. Compared to other renos this one is a lot easier, so far. I also think I have less f*^ks to give after the last 7 months. New bathroom - here we come.
