The milestone
in the week ahead will be the arrival and assembly of new windows, sills and external
blind roller in the living room.
The crew of
(only two, yet trusted) builders will kick off with their work in the last week
of September or in the first week of October (depending on when they finish off
their current assignment).
The only leftovers
in the flat that need to be removed are: bath, toilet and tiles. I began to rip
off the very latter thing and I must say with a hammer and a screwdriver and a
crowbar the task takes away a lot of time and energy. Needless to say, I have
not ordered a container to which rubble will be dumped.
Still not
half way into what everyone at some point in life needs to go through. Just for
the record – I am busy enough not to find time to make the most of the endless
summer. The weather this September has been more summer-like than autumn-like
(although imminent advent of autumn is felt in the air). The above-average is
about to continue, as temperature around 20 September is projected to peak +28C
in afternoons.
Oblivious
of how it all unfolds, for no apparent reason I sense we will witness an abrupt
shift from late summer to the first whiff of winter, something akin to what
happened in October 2009 (day-time high of +24C on 8 October 2009 followed by
snowfall on 14 October 2009) and a reversal of sudden explosion of spring in
early April this year.
