Z really doesn't like Blogger, but sorting out the old one is still beyond me

 When I try to do anything on Blogger, I'm reminded of why I abandoned it.  I haven't got the photos of the digital version of the kitchen on the computer, so I wanted to upload them from my phone, but I've been going to and fro for some time without success.  I'm too tired now,

If you've been here, you'll know that my kitchen is quite dark.  Two small windows either side of the Aga, a slightly bigger one behind the sink and a hatchway through to the study opposite the sink,There are doorways to the passage, the dining room, the broom cupboard, the back stairs and the lobby to the larder, back door and laundry room leading to the annexe.  At least the doorways are all at one end.  Then there is a big old central beam across the room and beams down the length of the room.  With no explanation, Russell refused to let me have any light above the Aga and there are fluorescent light strips hidden behind the beams near each side of the room.  A few years ago, I had spotlights put above the Aga, so I can finally see what I'm cooking (Russell had many good qualities, but few people could have remained married to him).  We have fairly light oak units and a boring laminate wood effect floor (all we could afford at the time) and quite a dark floral wallpaper - I couldn't do anything about the darkness, so I emphasised it.

Now, I'm going completely the other way.  It's all about light and openness.  I'll sort out photos tomorrow.  I'm having the units from Magnet and I'm having Corian worktops and sink, with light oak-esque vinyl tiles on the floor, which will be carried through to the study, to which I'm opening up the hatchway to a doorway again - it used to be the back door and we half-filled it in because I needed cupboard space.  

Descriptions and pictures tomorrow, I'm too tired to see, let alone think.  I'm going to take out my contact lens and go straight to bed.  Indeed, the lens has gone in the bin because it's nearly a new month and I won't need to put one in for the next couple of days.

Good news is that the fitter is coming round tomorrow afternoon to size up the job and I hope he'll give me a date soon for the kitchen to be done.  As long as it's not during the blog party, it's fine.  Actually, I don't care.  Whatever he suggests.  I'll always have the Aga.

Which reminds me, I've bought new Aga saucepans.  Z doesn't do extravagance by halves.
