What a week!

Arjan's first week back to work in the UK didn't go nearly as smoothly as we'd planned. We'd been having some issues with the combi-ketel (heating/hot water system) for several weeks, but we didn't worry too much about it since it was due to be serviced and we still had heat and hot water. Tuesday morning I needed to get something from our spare room, which at the moment is home to a billion boxes of books and office supplies while we work on remodeling/redecorating the office...I almost cried when I opened the door and saw what was waiting for me...the floor was waterlogged! The radiator had sprung a huge leak! Several boxes were wet, but thankfully several others were not. All of our books made it out and most everything else, but I did cry when I got to the worst of the boxes for it was all Arjan's university stuff and it was wet and moldy. He took it a million times better than I did and thinks he can probably just photocopy the majority of it once it is all dried out. We've got the leakage under control for the time being and will be replacing the radiator in the coming weekend.

This week is going much better so sunday evening we took down the Yule tree and yesterday I got all the rest of the decorations and packed them up. Today I'm just doing a bit of housework and then working on some paper scrap pages this afternoon. I did manage to get a digi page done this morning while having my morning coffee and chatting a little bit with Jacinda. :)




I just love this kit by Heather Roselli at Sweet Shoppe Designs Petshop - Crazy Cats and it was perfect for this photo I captured while getting dressed this morning.
