This is Mrs Magnox here, with my first Mignon post. Orangeblossom has come up to help with the 'cosmetics' of the van interior this week and things have moved along...
On close inspection some areas of the roof were quite damp (well, the timbers were more like sponge) so they had to be taken down and new mdf put up (that was a bugger of a job to hold that in place over the top of the cab). I'm sure Magnox will fill you in on that (however, a 10 day holiday work trip to India beckoned for Magnox, so we are getting stuck in).
But I often wonder - who are the people who go into Homebase or B&Q or whatever, and think 'No, I won't get that lovely pattern or colour, I'll buy the most disgusting and hideous wallpaper/paint/material that I find. That will be just perfect!'. We have found some very worrying choices whilst stripping off the outer layer of wallpaper.
So we are being a bit more tasteful with our decor, a nice blue with a lovely navy blue tartan for the cushions. Pa will like it, and here is Orangeblossom up to some stitchery* in the dining room:
* a craft I do not have and never will possess. All hail the Orangeblossom.

It was the 1970s...
Dr. Evil: You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here! What do we have?
Number Two: Sea Bass.
Dr. Evil: [pause] Right.
Number Two: They're mutated sea bass.
Dr. Evil: Are they ill tempered?
Number Two: Absolutely.
Dr. Evil: Oh well, that's a start.
