Noisy though.<br /><br />No wonder it took us so long to put those bookshelves together....<br /><br />The mice have made their decisions. Sadly Mette has departed and I have been left with a couple of rooms to do the curtains in. However needles and thread are not involved, just material and glue so I am hopeful. And the mice are not fussy.<br /><br />Oh and I have just realised we have not yet assessed the skill set of one of the imminent Dutch contingent. I shall therefore leave the curtains for today.Cestinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050699324845479257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825557015623591306.post-72214235876686235342013-04-24T22:36:04.710+01:002013-04-24T22:36:04.710+01:00ooh some tantalising glimpses here! I'm sorry ...ooh some tantalising glimpses here! I'm sorry to have to tell you that those mice look very indecisive (and possibly drunk)- Mette might have to make some executive decisions. <br />Sympathise with the spatial difficulty - I too am capable of reversing something so that it ends up exactly the same way round. I seem to remember spending a ridiculous amount of time failing to refit the little sieve thing at the spout of your kettle and thinking wildly "there must be a finite number of ways in which I could place this" and concluding that I could only manage one - the wrong way. Seem also to remember a certain person fixing it in the flap of a butterfly's wing... <br />More mice! More mice! <br />A xxAndrea Smallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017280033696404459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825557015623591306.post-83916480833258216722013-04-24T22:28:56.034+01:002013-04-24T22:28:56.034+01:00I would have expected nothing less from you, Abbey...I would have expected nothing less from you, Abbeybufo!

Please, Miss, I...*puts hand up, rather sheepishly*<br /><br />Please, Miss, I knew they were called piano hinges.<br /><br />But then I have an 'other half' who keeps all sorts of odd things 'in case they come in handy', and has made 'wall-tables' in both the houses we've lived in, one for a small 'breakfast-room' and here at one end of the kitchen; secured to a batten on the wall by just such a hinge in each case, with a strut hinged out to keep them up, similarly attached.
