Cork

Chatting to my friend Kate on Messenger early this morning (plotting a trip to Scotland in the summer) and sharing updates on various housey bits - which is why I took this photo - to show her the cork flooring we're considering for our bedroom.  Chatting to her was a nice distraction from stressful work stuff - but had a good meeting in the afternoon which resolved some of that.

Tim took over feeling stressed in the evening - all the house stuff (especially the unresolved damp problem) is weighing him down.  We came up with a plan of action (including getting a proper damp survey as a starting point), and cracked open the Christmas brandy.
