Attic

After two days of hard sorting, ruthless clearing and heavy wear of Jon's knees(!) we have emptied the attic in order to begin turning it into a nursery for b. As we only have 2 bed house it will always have to double up as a spare room when we have guests, but that's no issue as there is plenty of room and the bed will, i'm sure come in handy for me when I'm nursing.

At the moment, said bed has returned to it's original state of being a sofa, it seemed to make sense to have it take up the least room while we clean and paint the room. The main thing is that Fig still likes it, is happy to curl up and sleep on it and seems to have forgiven us for folding up his bed! - not sure about G yet :)

Another reason for keeping the bed folded into sofa mode is that the area underneath the velux is currently being used as a rudimentary tomato greenhouse(!) Both Moneymakers and Black Russians are growing well and we staked them today by way of support. However, the Sungold are really struggling...they are so much smaller than the others and the leaves seem to be wilting and curling up. Will watch with interest as to whether they make it.
