This post is just here so Google can find it and hopefully save some other poor soul some time.
And lo, there is much sadness in the land of the Hackintosh, as my machine with a Gigabyte H87n-WiFi board has an unfortunate tendency to keel over every few weeks: Hard lock, nothing in the logs, just instant death. So I've been looking around for what to do to get this otherwise excellent rig to stop having seizures. And sigh there's a lot of magical thinking in Hackintosh land. But going back to first principles it makes sense to update the BIOS to see if Gigabyte fixed some bugs. Can't be too hard, right? It's just a BIOS update, right? Like we've been doing for effing decades, right?
Well, gather round, children while uncle Nic tells you a sad tale.
Turns out Gigabyte have finally realized that not everybody who buys their boards are running Windows (thank you!) so you no longer have to download a weird Windows app to update the motherboard. Which, when you think about it, was insane. But those dark days are behind us now: Newer GigaByte boards have a Q-Flash utility right on the BIOS. You download the updater, put it on a FAT-formatted USB stick and boom!
Except you'll get a "File size incorrect!" error.
So let's Google that. And get a lot of noise about how the BIOS file got too big so you have to use a Windows utility called @Bios to update the BIOS to make it understand the BIOS is larger now.
Say it with me, kids: "Sigh."
This turns out to be incorrect. The BIOS file you download from Gigabyte is a zip file and you have to decompress it, then put the actual update file on the USB stick and you'll be golden. Hint: The actual flash file is the one that doesn't end in .exe or .bat.
At this point you may be asking yourself things like, "Couldn't Gigabyte just have put this information in the Readme file?" or "Shouldn't people not post shit on the Internet where they're just guessing?"
Those are valid questions, indeed.
But for now, go forth and update ye olde BIOS firmware and put thine thumbs together to hope it fixes thine problem.
In the meantime I'll be over here shaking my head.
Nic loves books, but he loves their content more.
The American voting system is stuck in a time warp. It makes Nic sad.
Should you upgrade to Amazon's latest e-ink reader? Nic gives it a reluctant and somewhat perplexed nod.
Nic is worried about the fragile state of our technology and thinks you should be as well.
Lots of good reads in this installment. Includes All Hell Let Loose, Metallica: This Monster Lives, 10% Happier, Onward, Echopraxia, Cibola Burn, The Getaway God, Lock In, The Red: First Light, Terms of Enlistment, and Lines of Departure.
Nic tries to understand the WATCH. It doesn't go well.
Nic thinks home integration could be Apple's next major category. Read on to find out why.
Nic is frustrated with his Kindle and would love to see Apple make an e-ink reader.
Once again user-interface ineptitude and Internet idiots make things harder than they have to be.
There are ways to fix the illegal immigration problem. They don't involve yelling at children in buses. Nic explains.

There are no secrets about losing weight after you have given birth to your new baby. You can follow the advice for losing weight in any other situation, but there are some unique factors involved resulting from your post-pregnancy situation.
You can make your goals easier to attain when you have accurate information, but because you may be nursing, you definitely need to be aware of what you are putting in your body. Never choose the common fast weight loss products you see all over the place. Consuming products that boost metabolism for fat burning, for instance, will have a negative effect on your baby's health.
Water is helpful in weight loss, so you can try this simple weight loss tip. Some people recommend drinking 8 full glasses of water throughout the day, but this figure has varied over the years. In a number of studies, it was found that water helps in boosting metabolism and giving the sensation of fullness.
You will find yourself eating smaller meal portions if your stomach already feels full even before you begin your meal. Just how much water you should be drinking every day is really up to you — make sure that you're drinking enough, and if possible, drink a full glass of water right before a meal.
You've got a balance to find when you're trying to return to your pre-pregnancy weight. Take advantage of the internet to learn more about this because you're not the only one who is going through this kind of experience. Your doctor is the best person for you to ask as to the latest information on weight loss. There is not a lot that is much different from anyone else who wants to lose weight.
Proper diet, and not dieting, is very important along with getting daily exercise if you can. If you can't afford to go to the gym or even do your workouts outdoors, you can still exercise inside.
Depending on your situation, trying to lose weight can be a very stressful undertaking. Some suggest that immediately going into weight loss mode after your baby arrives is not the best choice. You're going to be facing a different kind of stress after delivering your baby. Try not to add on more stress to yourself. Don't think about weight loss just yet; give it a few months.
Approach your post-pregnancy weight loss undertaking smartly. Only turn to credible sources to get your information. Once you have the information you need, go over it and see which ones are most appropriate for you and your situation. Try to design your own post-pregnancy weight loss program based on the information you've gathered. Best of all, stick to your program.

text: A vast desert formed in Earth's prehistoric past when the supercontinent of Pangaea straddled the equator and stretched to the poles. Pangaea's position influenced ocean circulation patterns, and its huge size meant that there were vast areas where moist air from the oceans never penetrated. The north east of the continent, coastal areas and the poles had water aplenty, but elsewhere deserts ruled supreme. Many of the bright red rocks of the Late Permian and Triassic are from this desert period. They often contain chunks of gypsum and other salts left by evaporating lakes since, when rain came, it was likely to be as monsoon-type deluges.

Clearly this is a ridiculously extravagant number of bathrooms so I'm going to temper this by explaining that currently we have two bathrooms and an outside WC (which of course in itself represents a fairly healthy number of options for conducting ablutions). Once we have finished our renovations we will have added an ensuite in our bedroom and one in Eva's bedroom, converted the attic to a bedroom and added a third ensuite up there, installed a ground floor WC in what will be the new extension, and converted the outside WC to a full bathroom in the cellar. Phew. Which makes seven bathrooms, all of which we will be doing ourselves over the course of the next five-ten years (literally).
We're hoping to get cracking early next year with our main bathroom on the top floor, which currently looks like this (or rather it did until Andre cracked under the pressure of too much rag rolled turquoise and slightly randomly painted the walls dark blue instead).
I've been gathering images of gorgeous bathrooms on Pinterest for a while now - here's what we're planning and why.
For our ensuite - dramatic marble, the super-veined kind like Arabescato or Statuario. I definitely want one marble bathroom and our ensuite is the only option because apparently a mere drop of water turns a marble floor into an ice rink which rules it out for kids and guests. It would also scratch easily so isn't a good idea for the ground floor where people are more likely to wear outdoor shoes with grit on them.
Marble bathroom in Notting Hill by Maddux Creative
For Eva's bathroom - fun and quirky with a giant map mural or decal on the wall. We're going to get the original cast iron Victorian clawfoot bath (pictured above in our turquoise bathroom) re-enamelled and use that in her ensuite. Lucky girl.
Lonny Mag
For the cellar - dark and dramatic polished concrete (or tiles to give a similar effect). This room will mostly be used for washing muddy dogs and post-sport kids so a deep colour would work well here.
Elle Decor (apparently this is the the lower Manhattan penthouse of star baseball player Mike Piazza and his wife, Alicia, who knew)
The ensuite in the attic - hopefully light and airy with a big velux or dormer, a large antique mirror, a chandelier and wood-effect tiles. We might as well have at least one bathroom that don't look like a bathroom.
Source unknown
The ground floor WC - a crazy paper like this Martinique Banana Leaf wallpaper. I like the idea of wallpaper in bathrooms but I also like very hot showers and the two don't seem particularly compatible so using it in a WC seems like a good plan.
Source unknown
The bathroom outside Natalia's room - a feature wall of some kind (some friends of ours have just installed a bathroom with an amazing dark slate mosaic type wall and it looks incredible) with black and white floor tiles. This bathroom will be used by guests so it needs to be practical for lots of use, and will be visible when going up stairs so it needs to co-ordinate with the hall and landing decor. The latter is likely to be neutral and possibly yellow (I'd love to use yellow Cow Parsley on the landings, I think it's gorgeous) and Natalia's room is turquoise so black and white would tie it all together.
Slate hexagon tile from TV show 'The Block' (note: Daily Mail link alert)
And finally, the top bathroom will be nice and neutral. I adore the picture below with all the different kinds of pale marble tiles. We'd need marble-effect, I think, to make it less slippery for the kids, but I think we can get away with something paler upstairs as any mud would have been tracked off in the rest of the house on the way up (lovely!) so it wouldn't need constant cleaning, and grey is far more forgiving than white in any case.
Thoughts? Favourites?]]>
Here's what our radiators looked like. The previous (lovely) owner waxed lyrical to me about how energy efficient they were, but the terrifyingly high gas bill we received that first winter told a different story (in fairness I wasn't really listening to him as I was too busy gawping at the original mouldings 12 feet above my head so I may have missed some fundamental detail about how to operate them in conjunction with the huge, rusty and leaking hot water tank skulking in the bathroom).
We've gradually been replacing them with nice new modern double radiators. Strictly speaking we should replace them with authetic or reproduction Victorian cast iron radiators (we have two small ones on the top floor) but there are some things I'm just not bothered about restoration-wise, stripping skirting boards being one and installing Victorian-style radiators being another, to which I say Meh on both counts. On the other hand, if all goes according to plan, then early 2015 will find me spending hours and hours Michelangelo-style carefully soaking 130 years of paint off the original decorative cornice in the living room, go figure.
Last year we replaced the radiators in the living room, playroom, dining room, our bedroom and Eva's bedroom. Natalia's room doesn't need heating as the hot water pipes running underneath her wooden flooring create natural underfloor heating, which is so toasty warm that when she rolled out of her new big girl bed at 1am a few weeks ago, she apparently found the floor so comfortable that she just kipped down there for the rest of the night. These crazy toddlers.
This winter we've tackled the hall and landing radiators. Pretty simple job, providing you can cope without hot water for the day, you have a magical oscillating multi-tool for cutting carefully through the floorboards you need to lift, and you don't make schoolboy errors like hanging the radiator before taking up the floorboards and realising you've positioned the joints over a joist. Cough *Andre* cough.
And here's one of the new radiators looking nice and sleek against the wall that we hadn't got round to painting when I took the photo (it's done now). We also need to repair the floorboards around the pipes.
But oh my goodness it is so warm. Luxuriously warm. Insanely warm. We left the heating on low while we went out for a couple of hours this afternoon and came back to a 23 degree house. I should probably share a tutorial of some kind explaining how to plumb in a new radiator but I have no idea how to plumb in a new radiator as I leave all that to Andre, god bless my handy husband.
Other things we have been doing recently - laying woodchip around the play area, measuring up for the fitted wardrobes, and perusing ceiling roses for the bedroom. And next post - bathroom plans!]]>
When we first moved in, this was the view from the back door.
Not so pretty; but in early summer when the wisteria comes into bloom? A different story.
A couple of years of neglect later, and we appear to have created a delightfully dank cave-like space with a hazardously sagging wooden pergola thingie that had to be propped up with the giant tube containing the 5m window cleaning device that Andre (fortuitously, as it turned out) insisted on buying recently.
We intended just to give it a quick trim to relieve some of the pressure on the close-to-collapsing-but-not-so-close-that-we-can-be-bothered-to-fix-it frame, but even after taking off loads it wasn't enough, so we ended up chopping off the whole lot.
Wisteria grows like a virus so we're not unduly concerned about its prospects, and it's so much lighter out the back, even though our neighbour questioned mildly how long he would have to look at the newly-revealed shanty town-like structure. Not too long, we hope! The structural drawings are near completion, the schedule of works has been drafted, and we're just about ready to go out to tender for the building work that will hopefully be ready to start demolishing said shanty town-like structure, along with half the ground floor, early next year.
The next project? Stripping the front door. I've done the first coat of Homestrip and there only appear to be about three layers of paint which I assume means it's not the original door, unless some other poor sod had a crack at it before we moved in. We also have to shift about three cubic tonnes of newly delivered wood chip to the play area at the end of the garden, oh joy...]]>
The final paragraph concluded that the author was content not to have it all, having given up her job to enable her partner to work longer hours. Fair play for having achieved a state of peace in a way that works for her and her family, but speaking personally, I like to think (hope?) that I can find a way to have it all.
As a full-time parent who works full-time and is also renovating a house and aspires to be a half-decent partner and friend into the bargain, I do spend a reasonable amount of time juggling things around. As does Andre, funnily enough, who also happens to be a full-time parent who works full-time. About this time last year I wrote a post about renovating with small children, where I described our normal routine and how we achieve a balance between taking care of the kids and plastering the walls. That was while I was on maternity leave, and had time to chuck a load of washing into the tumble dryer during the day or do a spot of painting while the kids busied themselves smearing playdoh into the gaps between the (beautifully hand-sanded and oiled) floorboards.
Things are very different now I'm back at work and we have to fit all the housework, cooking and errands along with renovation and occasionally relaxation into a short 20:00-22:00 daily window plus some weekend time. We're still busy renovating - it's just that everything takes a lot longer to accomplish.
Take this chair, which according to the dates of the photograph, was hauled outside and primed back in April, only to be abandoned in the playroom half finished for six months until I finally finished it with a coat or seven of bright yellow paint a couple of weekends ago.
As usual we found it in the cellar when we moved in, along with a matching partner. Waste not, want not; I'm collecting mis-matched chairs for my grand dining table scheme, so decided to sand and oil the wood of one and add a new fabric seat pad, and keep the original battered leather of the other but paint it a bright colour.
From this:
To this:
It actually looked OK before, but I have no room at my imaginary dining table for two identical (and identically shabby) scratched wooden chairs with partially disintegrating seat pads, and I like the combination of the slick modern yellow with the old battered leather.
While I was painting numerous layers of yellow onto the chair and trying to keep an eye on the kids at the same time, Enrique generously managed to knock the tub of paint over, run through it several times, bound across the patio and through the gate, jump on Penny, run back across the patio several times and then BURST THROUGH THE FENCE INTO THE NEIGHBOURS' GARDEN. Bearing in mind that we've lived here for nearly three years and neither dog has ever tried to break through the fence until this very moment, it was fairly special timing.
So it turns out you can have it all. You can work full-time and be a full-time parent (because oddly enough I don't stop being a parent when I arrive at the office) and still find the time to upcycle random pieces of furniture. It's just that it may take you six months to finish one chair because you can't have it all at the same time, and having it all may include having to scrub all twenty million yellow paw prints from the patio, and your other Jack Russell may just have to live with yellow paw marks on her back until they wear off because you can't be bothered with the effort of washing it off when all you really want to do is collapse on the sofa and have all the wine.
Next project - the fitted wardrobe in our bedroom.

Kitchen design has moved on a long way since the basic concept of the work triangle. As the loving possessor of a work triangle that involves leaving the room, entering a foyer, and entering second room to access the fridge I'm a big fan of the good ol' traditional work triangle, but there are plenty of other things to think about. Kitchens are not just spaces for preparing meals - they're also places to quickly make a brew or some toast, social areas where people want to sit and chat, or children might want to do some light homework or help prepare a meal. They're often the place where the post ends up, and the soft play party invitations and school reminders like to hang out. In short, we all know that the kitchen is the hub of the house, but often the design only looks at the work triangle and perhaps the storage, but little else.
For example - it's no use having a great work triangle if everyone has to cut through it to get to the kettle or the fridge with the snacks and cold water. Ideally you need a coffee, tea and even breakfast making station that's separate to the main cooking area. And think about where the kids will play in relation to the stove top - I saw a kitchen recently where the children had to pass through a small gap between the hob on one side and the island on the other to get to the back door, meaning hot pans of sizzling oil were seriously hazardous.
If you want people to sit at the island, where are the stools going to do? Are they likely to end up tangled with the legs of the dining room table a metre away? Where will the plates go when you're ready to plate up for ten people? And where will the dirty dishes go if your kitchen is open to the dining table and you don't want to sit and look at them while you're eating your homemade lasagne?
And my absolute favourite requirement, which so, so, so many kitchens get wrong - how do you move seamlessly from vegetable washing to chopping to cooking to removing hot dishes from the stove and putting them somewhere sensible that doesn't involve carrying pans of hot food across the room? Is your sink on the same work surface as your prep area, or will you have to chuck a pile of sodden vegetables across the floor to your chopping board? (Reference - our old kitchen, which like an idiot I actually designed this way.) And do you actually have any space to chop carrots and throw flour around in, or are you crammed up against the toaster, not because you don't have the space, but because the space isn't well designed?
Most right-handed people work from left to right. Wash veg, move to right, chop veg, move to right, cook veg. I certainly do. So the requirement to have a stretch of unit connecting sink to prep area to hob with the prep area being as large and empty as possible was hugely important for me.
I dug out the kitchen wish list I wrote a year ago (what?! where has the time gone?). It largely still stands, which is good to know - I've edited with strikeout to show the changes.
Some of the lengths are flexible - for example, we may reduce the size of the fridge-freezer (we've got another one in the cellar so don't need a massive one in the main kitchen) and also the larder next door in order to create a slightly larger space on the left of the sink. Currently there's 60cm there as we've got a tower of 60cm ovens on top of a 90cm undercounter range oven. We don't do a whole lot of washing up (*cough* two dishwashers *cough*, and what we do wash up by hand tends to get dried and put away immediately, but I think a slightly larger space for a small drainer - say 90cm - would be useful.
We've got a second dishwasher in the utility area to deal with the "we've had two families of four over for tea and there is no way this frankly extraordinary number of bowls and spoons is going to fit in one dishwasher" problem. I know it's extravagant but what the hell. It also means we can chuck the dirty cooking pans into this area and close the door on it if there isn't time to clean up before eating (we're mostly tidy-up-as-you-go-along cooks but sometimes this goes awry).
What else? Another dishwasher under the prep area so we can chuck the items we've used to prepare the meal into it straight away. No problem with people wanting to access it to put a glass inside when I'm busy cooking as they can just use the other one. I love U-shaped kitchens because you have the opportunity to create a little cooking domain. And by placing the fridge on the left at the start of the worktop run, people have no reason to enter the main prep area because the snacks and cold water are located at the other end of the room. We'll probably put the kettle, toaster and Gaggia in the utility area for the same reason.
OK. That's three years' worth of kitchen-related thoughts on a page. Go on, tell me what I've missed before we get the builders in to start knocking walls down :-)

So there's no reason really why I'm resolutely an urban girl, but from the moment I stepped out of the train at Newcastle Central Station nearly half my life ago (what?!) on a day trip to visit my prospective university, and caught the smell of the Tyne and heard the sound of the taxis idling and saw the palimpsest of Victorian and modern architecture against the skyline and the leftover remains of someone's last-night pizza on the floor, I've wanted to live in the city and that's exactly what I've done. Four years in Newcastle followed by thirteen in Manchester, which I moved to after completing my post-graduate degree because one of my friends described in as "a big, dirty exciting city".
Well, Manchester is exactly that. As much as the next person, I love going on holiday and enjoying a serene view of the lakes, the mountains, the Greek seashore, the rolling Tuscan hills and whatnot, but I'm happy to get back to my little part of M20 with a view of the neighbour's house opposite and the sound of cars and lawn mowers coming through the window. We used to live in the Northern Quarter, and I still enjoy wandering round there during the daytime, seeing all the old buildings, the art, the grafitti, the cars, the smell of exhausts and curries and cigarette smoke and just the general throb of humanity.
When we bought this house, there was no real question for either of us of selling up in a few years and moving out to Sale, or Altrincham, or Wilmslow, or Marple, or Disley - all lovely I'm sure, but here we're four miles or fifteen minutes out of the city centre and I never want to give that up. (Our neighbours insist that this makes us urban rather than suburban and I agree.) So this is our forever house and in ten years or so the girls will be sneaking out to try and get served in the Met, I'm sure.
Still, there has to be a balance. I couldn't do the New York family baby-in-a-closet thing - the kids need a bedroom each, we need plenty of space to leave all our crap lying around, the dogs need a decent flight of stairs and hallway to charge down every time the doorbell rings so they can build up sufficient speed to properly hurl themselves at the front door, and we need a nice big garden with enough space to install giant trampolines and climbing frames.
Which is exactly what we did this weekend, with the help of six children (including next door's kids, who climbed over the fence with a toolbox and a homemade pavlova) and three adults (who contributed beer and burgers to the cause). The instructions said it would take two adults ten hours - "it won't take that long!" said Andre. On yes it did, longer in fact, but the instructions were as unintelligible as these kind of instructions usually are, I insisted on labelling each lag screw and hex bolt so we didn't lose any of them, and we stopped for plenty of espresso breaks, trampoline bouncing sessions and Jack Russell ball throwing interludes.
We did have a think about building one ourselves from scratch, but by the time you've bought the wood, fixings, stain, slide and swings the cost is basically the same as buying one and assembling it, so that's what we did. Eva thinks it's a tree house because we've deliberately built it around the existing buddleia and acers and when you're up in the crow's nest you feel completely surrounded by leaves and greenery. We'll also be installing a raised platform around the main acer with a walkway or monkey bars to connect back to the climbing frame, so the whole thing will hopefully feel very organically at one with the garden.
Here's how wild the garden was when we first moved in:
After a weekend of ivy-taming last summer:
Clearing and levelling the ground (which involved digging up five enormous decorative tree stumps):
Ta da!
A team of willing under-age workers and an idiot posing:
And a view of the whole garden from the steps.
The neighbour's kids say it's better than theirs and we haven't even pimped it up with the matching periscope, telephone, telescope and chalk board yet so I'm calling it a WIN.
Next outdoor project - chuck down a load of forest park with a tree stump border to enclose the play area, and add a stone circle patio where the pond used to be.]]>
I also can't believe that I haven't written a blog post since June. Every week I kept thinking, oh, I really need to share photos of the bedroom (it's now white! and beautiful!) but that would have involved finding my camera, finding my tripod, taking a bunch of pictures, setting up the PC which had been abandoned on the floor of the spare bedroom while we renovated the master bedroom, downloading the photos, editing them, adding my watermark - and that's before I'd even written a word and it all just felt too much like hard work so I just poured another glass of prosecco and wandered outside with it instead.
Blogging has changed, hasn't it? I've been blogging for years, at least five of them, back when YHL were posting about buying budget blooms from the local shop and it was charming and authentic. These days it's all Pinterest-friendly DIYs where you can't just post the DIY, heaven forfend, you have to have a pin-friendly image of the DIY with your logo and some descriptive text laid over it, and there are so many sponsored posts that aren't marked as sponsored posts but you know two sentences in that you're reading yet another sodding post about the Honest Company or Blue Apron but the blogger won't bother to tell you it's sponsored until you get to the end even though the rules say that's not allowed (kudos to Katie Bower, she seems a tad on the crazy side but she's totally transparent about her sponsored posts). It wasn't hard to see the YHL sabbatical coming because the blog's been unfortunately spiralling downwards for months, and the ironic thing of course is that if I were to click over and see a post about budget blooms I'd click straight off again on the grounds that this is your job and I want to see more than some sodding flowers in a vase, you know?
Personally I think it's the trend for making money from blogging that's sending the whole thing into a decline. Two of my favourite bloggers - Natalie from Hey Natalie Jean, who I read because her life is so utterly different to mine and her posts are an unabashed stream of fairly bonkers consciousness, and Andrea from For The Love Of, who lives in California and posts about clean eating (what?) and weird recipes with foods I've never heard of that I wouldn't even know where to buy in the UK and recently posted a DIY necklace that basically looked like a giant fake beard which was accidentally hilarious - have recently posted about how they took on too many sponsored posts, found they didn't want to do them anymore, are finishing off the ones they've been contracted to do, and will be returning to blogging because they love writing, not to get page views. You go, ladies.
We don't all have to make money from blogging, right? I mean, if you want to, then by all means crack on, and there are a very few blogs out there that do it really well, but personally I just can't be freaking bothered, you know? I've done a few sponsored posts here and there in the past but now I'm working full-time and there are just not enough hours in the day to be sodding around with sponsored posts when I don't even have time to write the posts that are the main reason why I started this blog in the first place, namely as a diary of our house renovations.
Also, about six months ago the stats functionality on my Squarespace app stopped working so I couldn't check my page views without going to my actual website. Back in March I was getting around 25,000 page views a month, which considering I have never used after the jumps to increase clicks, and have a punishing schedule of approximately one post a month, was probably a fairly healthy number of page views. Now? I have no clue. A lot less than that, I imagine. And you know what happened as a result? Nothing! No personal impact to me whatsoever! I'd actually kind of forgotten that people read this at all until a nice reader called Anna left a comment enquiring where I was and that kind of reminded me that I do have a blog, and like posting on it, so thank you Anna for bringing that to my attention.
Soooo, this is not a long-winded way of saying I'm through with blogging, far from it, but I do wish I had a way of magicking out of thin air the couple of extra hours I would need each week to write a post (that given the choice I would actually rather use to make curtains or sand floors or paint furniture or generally have a little lie down to recover from the overly large amounts of champagne I drank - how fancy am I, right? - at a work event last night).
If anyone feels similarly about blogging, and has any thoughts on what the future holds given that even the mighty YHL have been felled by the monotony of having become a brand, do share them. Or maybe I'm just a crazy lady ranting gently away to myself on a Friday night while eating the hula hoops we bought for the kids, who knows.
Anyway, one thing we did this summer was go to Germany to see our lovely German friends who live in a little town between Berlin and Leipzig, bask in 35 degree sunshine and eat weird German food. Baked camembert for lunch? Don't mind if I do. Served with sour berries, slices of tinned peach, dry triangles of toast and... wait for it... a giant dollop of whipped cream? Pretty freaking weird, but I ate it anyway because it turns out that if my favourite thing to dip into a baked camembert is strips of brie (true story), then my second favourite thing might be whipped cream and hey, who needs to fit into their work trousers upon returning home to the UK, right?
Pretty German houses:
My delight at realising that an Eis-Cafe was not the frappuccino I was expecting, but instead was a cold latte with a generous amount of ice cream wedged into the glass:
A standard German kids' meal with Haribo on the side:
And a small pink lady paddling in the local lake:
Our friends had just finished building their house (this is a normal thing in German, sensible nation that they are; to buy land and build a brand shiny new house on it, rather than invest in a draughty old money-pit and spend hours lovingly scraping lead paint off the stairs) and it was just so nice to spend time somewhere with lovely new bathrooms and a proper kitchen with an island and an induction hob and a table for the kids to sit at.
We've come home renewed with vigour to get cracking with our extension - ideally early next year, assuming we can get a suitable builder booked in. I've even been ordering catalogues for tiles and whatnot. Maybe I should just try doing short posts saying hey, what do you think of these tiles with this worktop? which is basically the kind of thinking that flows through my brain these days.
Hope you've had a lovely summer too. I'm off to finish the prosecco.
You can leave a comment here, if you like.]]>
Anyway, here's where we started in February.
And here's what happened next.
And here's where we are now. The giant desk has been moved against this wall while we sanded the floor on the other side of the room. Long-term it's going to move into the cellar once we've converted the utility room, but for now it's going to live here because this is where the movers left it and it's huge and there are not enough hours in the day to be moving monolithic furniture from one room to another.
Here's a close-up of the typical plaster situation we had to deal with. The woodwork is actually in reasonable condition so, as with the other rooms we've tackled so far, we're just giving it a light sand in places to remove the worst lumpy bits and then slapping some white paint on top. I'm happy to invest time and money into renovating wooden floors and staircases because the final results are amazing, but I truly don't notice the skirting boards so for us, it's not worth the effort.
We used to have a corner sink located hazardously close to the plug sockets.
When we started chipping away at the plaster it all crumbled off so we had to take the whole thing back to brick (in fact we had to take a decent amount of the room back to brick). This is the stage of renovation where you think sod it, let's just glue the wallpaper back on and call it a day.
No more brick!
We've also finished sanding the floor and have started work priming the windows. Again, renovating the windows is something we're going to tackle at a later stage (I can't face the heinous thought of replacing them with PVC, the cost of replacing them with wood so we need to fully repair them) so they're just getting a coat of paint for now. And then we can paint the walls and oil the floors. I reckon one more weekend and week of effort and we'll be done.]]>
Have searched everywhere, can't find the source. Obviously this is a walk-in but I like the simple yet glamorous look.
We had thought of installing Ikea Pax wardrobes, but they don't quite fit the space, and for the cost of Ikea laminated MDF doors and shelves we can buy actual wood from our favourite local supplier, Atlantic Timber. Also we like doing things the hard way.

The plan is to fit the wardrobes along the wall to the right of the bay window, up to the height of the picture rail, and as far as the space where the ensuite will be installed in the right-hand corner. We're not planning on fitting the ensuite for a couple of years but want to install the wardrobes now, so to do this we'll need to take an reasonably approximate guess at how wide the ensuite will be, based on the size of the bath or shower unit we expect to use, and the width of the internal pod walls plus sound insulation.
Can't find this one either, grrr. Nice colour-co-ordinated clothing rails.
We built a mini internal wardrobe fitting for my shoes at our old house, but have never designed an entire built-in wardrobe before. I imagine the process is similar to designing a kitchen - you make a list of everything you own and need to fit into the space, and then make sure there will be a place for it. Here are some things that I know we'll need to consider:

I've also been thinking how the whole thing could look in general. I'm inspired by the photo below, which I saw in a magazine years ago, to install carved and white-painted Indian screens as wardrobe doors. I shared this plan with one of my friends, who asked where on earth I would get my hands on something like that... pretty easily, as it turns out - they appear to be freely available on eBay and even Amazon.
25 Beautiful Homes
Obviously the interior will either be wallpapered or handpainted with a suitable pattern, and the wooden compartments will either be painted white to match the doors, or oiled to match the wooden floors. Probably white, given the inspiration pictures I've included in this post. We're planning to buy the drawers and sliders from Ikea for convenience, but fit our own wooden drawer fronts (we've tried making drawers before and it wasn't particularly successful). We're also going to purchase Hafele wardrobe fittings - pullout storage rails, wardrobe rails and tie storage.
Have you ever designed your own fitted wardrobe? Do you have any advice?]]>
We also get to pick furniture! We already have a gorgeous reclaimed wooden bed, and some very nice mirrored bedside cabinets, but pretty much everything else needs purchasing. Among other things, I'm contemplating a white Barcelona sofa, a Moroccan wedding blanket, a huge antique mirror and a wow-factor ceiling pendant light fixture.
First on the research list - the pendant.
The ceilings are high (nearly twelve foot) and the room's about 6x6m so there's a big space to fill. And much as I love to DIY and upcycle, I think it's also important to buy furniture and accessories as well, partly to support talented craftspeople, and partly because otherwise houses can look a bit Pinterest-tastic, if you know what I mean. I'm looking for something organic - either in material or shape, and ideally handmade.
Here's the moodboard I created for the room a while back.
Full image source list here
Here are some of the options I'm considering for the light fixture.
From left to right, and top to bottom: Chandelier from Christopher Wray, White turquoise chandelier by Marjorie Skouras, Foscarini Caboche, Banana fibre light from Pinch Design, Egyptian pendant from Lombok, Butterfly pendant by Tom Raffield, Hawaiian Tropic Leaves by Alexander and Pearl, Crystal orb pendant by John Lewis, Vita Eos feather pendant
Here's a closer look at the banana fibre pendant:
And the classic arctic pear chandelier by Ochre:

The banana fibre pendant is just extraordinary (it was a recommendation by the very talented Sian Astley) but I'd have to wait for a 50% off sale before it became vaguely affordable. I like the Foscarini Caboche, even after spotting it in Gloria and Jay's house on Modern Family, and the John Lewis option is almost prettier, but I really fancy something made by an independent artist. We like everything in the house to have a story behind it; some history about where it came from and how we acquired it - the carved wooden mirror that we bought from a florist in Isle-sur-la-Sorgue in Provence and drove it 1000 miles home; our wedding china; the huge abstract canvases painted by my artist Grandpa - and "we bought this from John Lewis" doesn't quite cut it...
I adore the white turquoise chandelier but it's made from actual gemstones and I can't even begin to imagine the price so I think that would have to be a DIY job (I've got a turquoise one in mind for the landing outside our bedroom). Ditto the Ochre 'Arctic Pear' chandelier - it's basically perfect but the cost runs into the thousands.
I saw the feather orb in real life at the Manchester Independent Interiors Show and it's amazing, but we're planning an all-white, cream and ivory room so it might not stand out sufficiently. I love the antique chandelier but it feels like too much of a predictable choice... I also love the Tom Raffield butterfly pendant - I think it would look amazing in the hallway - but I think it would be a really great option in here as well, although perhaps a touch too modern? Ditto the tropic leaves light - it's gorgeous and unusual but might look better in a more contemporary space. Yes, yes, I'm fussy.
And the Egyptian pendant? I think this is my favourite. The pendants are hand-hammered from silver-plated brass and then drilled full of tiny holes that throw beautiful patterns around the room. We honeymooned in Marrakech and this style of lighting really reminds me of the decor there. The one shown above is from Lombok but I bet I could source one directly if I put my mind to it - or buy from independent Le Souk (see image below).
Which one would you choose?]]>

Concerned that Fox News is becoming increasingly partisan, executives at National Public Radio have asked one of their top reporters to stop appearing on the network as a guest contributor. According to Politico, NPR management asked national correspondent Mara Liasson to watch Fox News for 30 days and then "reconsider" her affiliation with the right-leaning cable news channel. Liasson elected to stick with Fox, noting that she appears only on the network's news programs and never on opinion shows with controversial hosts, such as Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity. Should NPR discourage its journalists from appearing on America's most popular cable news network? (Watch Mara Liasson participate in a Fox News roundtable discussion)
NPR needs to protect its reputation: Fox no longer even pretends to be a real news organization--it's simply a right-wing "propaganda channel," says David Neiwert at Crooks and Liars. And Mara Liasson recently started spouting GOP-approved talking points like everyone else on Fox. NPR has every reason to step in to protect its "hitherto-sterling reputation" as a source of unbiased news.
"Memo to NPR and Mara Liasson: You lie down with Fox, you get fleas"
NPR is the one showing bias: NPR has "no business" telling Liasson what to do in her spare time, says Allahpundit at Hot Air, and, "as a taxpayer-funded news organization," it has no right to join in the White House's war on Fox News. In any case, Liasson deserves "a big cheer for reportorial independence"—and standing up to her bosses' heavy-handed tactics.
"Did NPR sign up for Obama's war on Fox?"
Liasson can't have it both ways: Liasson's defense is "comical," says Eri Boehlert at Media Matters. It doesn't matter that she only appears only on Fox's news programs. She needs to either embrace "Fox News in its entirety"—including all its "unhinged and nakedly partisan" opinion hosts -- or suck it up and "walk away from Rupert Murdoch's money."

The proposed Williams Gateway Freeway may fall victim to the needs of Arizona's cash-strapped lawmakers.
Soon, perhaps in today's early-morning hours, the Legislature is expected to take back $20.4 million already designated for designing what will be state Route 802. The money - a fraction of $580 million at risk of being "swept" from various special funds - then would be used to help shore up the state's $1.6 billion budget deficit.
|Click on map to see a larger version
Mesa warned about losing freeway funding
One Mesa official said losing that money would set back construction of the freeway by four years, to 2016.
Mesa Mayor Scott Smith was more pessimistic.
"If it were to totally go away, the freeway won't get built, is the reality of it," Smith said Thursday. "It's not a matter of convenience; it's about whether that highway gets built."
Transportation officials at city, regional and state levels have said the Williams Gateway Freeway is needed because the far East Valley's growth has swamped the existing traffic network.
As currently planned, the highway would run 22 miles and connect Loop 202, near Ellsworth and Warner roads, to Florence Junction in Pinal County.
Two weeks ago, Scott Butler, Mesa's director of government relations, told the City Council it could ensure the money wouldn't be touched by agreeing to accelerate an agreement with the Maricopa Association of Governments and the Arizona Department of Transportation to start design work.
The council has yet to officially consider such an agreement.
But Mesa wasn't expecting the Legislature to look at taking the money as a way to fix the current fiscal year's budget. 2010, perhaps, but not 2009.
"We had initially believed we had a little bit more time," Butler said.
But lawmakers are close to taking back $104 million currently in an account called STAN: State Transportation Accelerated Needs. Other Valley projects that would be affected are: widening Interstate 10 near Buckeye and Interstate 17 in north Phoenix/Anthem; and improvements along Loop 303 in Surprise.
"As a general policy, it's been well documented that any fund that hasn't been spent is at risk of being swept," Smith said. "Since the 802 was appropriated and not spent, it's easy picking."
Smith also was concerned lawmakers would cut the funding in the expectation it would be restored by the federal government, as part of a proposed economic stimulus plan.
"The 802 is not eligible for the stimulus package," Smith said. "Because (other projects) are what are known as 'shovel ready,' those are eligible, and the problem is the 802 may be thrown into that class.
"So, we're educating the legislators that this is a whole different animal."
Legislative leaders anticipate soon approving the proposed sweeps and spending cuts of more than $600 million. The package then would go to Gov. Jan Brewer for her approval.
Butler said he would try to save the Williams Gateway funding by convincing lawmakers that infrastructure spending is the best kind of state spending during troubled economic times.
"We'll see what happens," Butler said. "But, frankly, it's not looking good."

Guestbook comments from the owner
I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at Coasting On Idyll. The house was more than what I had expected. Everything that one might need during a stay away from home was provided. The layout of the house, furnishings, and location of your house made the stay very enjoyable and relaxing. The time we spent at Carillon Beach was special, not only because our youngest son got married but also our other son, wife and granddaughter got to enjoy Coasting on Idyll, the Gulf and beautiful white beaches. We are already considering going back to Carillon Beach next year and staying at Coasting on Idyll.
Thank you again for the opportunity to stay at Coasting on Idyll.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) — Hitting the mall for Black Friday? Or maybe out with old friends for a cocktail?
It's all too easy to leave your phone behind.
A survey from Credent Technology, an Addison, Texas-based data protection firm, says twice as many mobile devices were lost in shopping malls this year than in 2011.
Credent examined lost phone rates at 15 of the 44 largest U.S. shopping malls and concluded that 5,754 devices were lost so far this year. That number should rise during the busy holiday shopping season. In fact, the survey notes that 67% of all missing mobile devices are lost between Black Friday and the end of the year.
Credent says that 95% of all mobile devices lost are either cellphones or tablet computers, although the survey is unclear about the wisdom of bringing a tablet computer on a shopping spree. While malls and retail outlets are doing a better job of recovering and returning lost mobile devices to owners, there is still a good chance your lost phone may be gone for good. Credent says many retail establishments wind up donating lost phones to charity – with all your sensitive data still active on the device.
"These survey results again underscore the need for mobile device users to take the security of their valuable information seriously," says Bob Heard, CEO of Credant. "There really is no substitute for following basic security protocols on the device and best practices for handling sensitive information. An individual's misplaced device should never land their employer in the daily data breach headlines."
