Dust and Depravity.....

.....Jane Austens lost novel lampshade comes to light in Whitley Bay attic, Sotheby's informed.....

The plasterers have left the building, well the attic at least, though I suspect I'll be seeing a lot more of the lovely Russell and his superlative skimming skills over the coming months as I (theoretically) decorate all the way down from the top to the bottom of the house.

I suppose I should really start on Operation Clean Up.....but maybe not today.......

MUCH LATER EDIT: gilliebg asks in the comments 'who would star in the mini-series', well it would have to be Colin Firth, but a lot dirtier and any one of the Calendar Girls!
