Soda syphons

I picked Anne up this morning and we drove to Heysham and got the Ben My Chree to Douglas. The was very calm; I hardly knew I was on a boat, though a toddler near to us still managed to chuck up, poor thing.

We arrived at the house in Peel and got the place warm and made the beds. We planned the priorities for decorating and I was ready to cook and enjoy the evening. But, no, it was decided by my assistant that there was time for two hour's work before eating. So I chopped out some loose plaster, double checked that the plasterer is coming tomorrow whilst Anne prepared a wall of the dining room and then we papered it. And it is kind of still sticking to the wall, mostly. It may be in a little heap on the floor in the morning.

A good start.

Pictured are three soda syphons that we have as ornaments in the dining room. I acquired them years ago as I think they are design classics and look great. Nobody seems to agree with me.
