About an hour later she started to complain about her throat and has now a bad cold. The first one this winter.

Later it turned out that there was a problem with the ceiling and they had to come in to repair our floor and the ceiling of the people beneath us. Dropping a salad bowl four times! That seems to be impossible. I think cork has gone down in price quite a bit. Our kitchen will get cork flooring, but it is also sealed, so it will be easy to clean. Thanks to Peter's parents we are able to have the floors done. When the "floor guy" ripped out the old carpet, there was almost a beach of sand and dirt underneath. It is hard to imagine how much dirt lives in a carpet or rug. Disgusting! I believe that you have to vacuum everyday. Maybe there are some wool carpet cleaning machines now? I have no idea. Our carpet was not a fancy one. <br /><br />The "study" is actually the warmest room in the house, which is nice right now. Only the windows are too small for us to really enjoy the room. I wish I could put in different ones. <br /><br />Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831448349166435125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287923374500556606.post-56551638724432029282014-03-05T15:32:26.798-05:002014-03-05T15:32:26.798-05:00Oooh!

Our rugs are so stained. It's dreadful. (In the first year or so Morgana dropped the salad bowl with balsamic vinegar dressing on it three times! Each time she did it I thought to myself, oh, she can't do that AGAIN. Ha! I think it actually happened four times.) When we first moved in, I priced a cork floor, but it was more expensive than the wool rug, and definitely more expensive than a synthetic rug. But I think it would have been a lot cleaner. I don't think we can use a rug cleaning machine on the wool rug we chose. At least we don't wear our shoes in the home, but it still gets dirty. I vacuum everyday. With two cats, a dog and four long haired people, it's necessary!<br /><br />It's good you were able to get away for a bit. It sounds like a very nice day! The pic of Flora is precious of course :) as is the pic of everyone working together with the tea kettle on the small stovetop at the end of the table. How fortunate you have that room. It looks very cozy.dorinalouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14997381262511104320noreply@blogger.com
