A study in scarlet

Well, maybe not scarlet. Not yet at least. We haven't painted it yet. But we have moved it around a bit. Unpacking a few more boxes gave us room to put Nikki's desk in the corner where she wanted it, and although her real desk still hasn't arrived (due to even more delays from the supplier, but now we're promised it by the end of February) it's still made a big difference to how the whole room looks. You can get a feel for how it will be when it's all replastered, redecorated and carpeted.

It's amazing too what you find when you unpack after four months! Chopsticks!

What I haven't been able to fathom is how to put a PC together without a rat's nest of cables all over the place. Don't say "cable tidy" because I have one of them, but the darn cables go every which way, so none of them will fit in it. It does help having the PCs in different corners of the room. When we first moved in we just dumped them in a temporary position - both on one desk - which meant under the desk was more like an elephant's nest than a rat's! It was good to finally sort all that out. I love the sense of progress and achievement even such a small step as we made today can give.

Off out to a wedding reception this evening - one of Nikki's workmates. Sounds like it might be fun, but if it isn't it's only twenty miles away so we can just bail ;o)
