Z's kitchen countdown - 10 - done, if not dusted and Zoë is going on holiday

 This morning I went over to talk to Mark, the pottery painter, about what I wanted.  I'd written it all down and printed out photos and he has my phone number if there's anything he wants to discuss.  I explained that I over-explain because, in my experience, not mentioning something makes it the one thing that isn't clear.  I've realised, however, that in asking for a cat, I didn't specify that I like the cat on his tiles.  But whatever he does will be fine.

I'm all ready to leave tomorrow, except for packing and doing a few final jobs here.  When I get back, I have two days to clear the kitchen cupboards.  This is a bigger job than it sounds.  All the same, it's quite doable - or I'd have already done it.  The kitchen units will be delivered on Thursday next week, the day I'm coming home, but Wink is on the case.  There is a whole room clear and ready to receive them.

I also had a phone call from the flooring shop in Yagnub and have a date for the kitchen and cloakroom floors.  

I'm taking work with me, that I didn't have time for, but I've arranged delivery for some of the final pieces for the auction.  I'll try to remember to count how many lots there will be, tomorrow, before I leave.  

Blue Witch and Mr Blue Witch have kindly invited me to stay with them tomorrow night, which I'm looking forward to, very much.  I haven't seen them for six years, since they moved northwards.  Next day, off I go to Glasgow.  I finally booked a hotel yesterday evening, having left it rather late and there wasn't a huge amount of choice, particularly of places with parking in the city centre.  But the hotel looks good.  

I expect I'll blog while I'm away.
