Since I wrote here about a month ago, we have finished the small room, the bathroom has been equipped with the radiator, all the doors have been carefully refurbished, we have made progress in the kitchen (water tap, radiator, more cupboards, fridge, oven, stove, microwave) and started renovating the living room. The living room is being prepared for new wallpaper and floor. Tanya does not like the “eye brows” made for supporting the curtains over the windows since she says the room looks smaller then, so shas removed all three in the living room. I have to agree, the room looks slightly more spacious without pelmets. Hopefully we can start with the wallpaper this weekend and finish the floor next week.
Today I went to the company gym at Uetlihof for the first time. I have signed up for a year and aim to go three lunches per week (Mon-Wed-Fri). We also bought a swimming pool subscription for Tanya. When the renovation is done we will have so much sparetime… đ
Last weekend we got access to our new room in the cellar. For the time being we store tools and IKEA furniture there but later on we will prepare that room a bit to make it look nicer. I have noticed that the Powerline network works there with decent performance so it should be possible to locate some servers there at a later stage.
Tomorrow at lunch time we will go to a “WillkommenapĂ©ro” for new inhabitants in Adliswil. We were invited already a year ago but could not attend then.
This weekend there is also a big city party, ZĂŒrifĂ€scht, which is taking place every third year. We will do like I did three years ago and go to Nordiska for bbq and fireworks. I can hear now, it is Friday evening, that the celebrations has already started with fireworks also today.
Between the apĂ©ro and ZĂŒrifĂ€scht I will try to cut the hedge. Whenever I have had an opportunity, the weather has been crap. The forecast for the weekend is very positive so I think it should be possible tomorrow. It is not easy to do during the week since one is not allowed to make noise in the evenings. In the mornings I have been drilling and preparing for Tanya’s day time activities.
Freja is still a very pleasant lady who’s company we enjoy a lot. She has learnt two more tricks lately, “Up” and “Spin”. Besides such playful activities, she is also doing her best to assist in the renovation project. She is sweeping the floor with her tail and keeps us company whatever we are doing.
Yesterday we had some team activities at work in order to celebrate a big release that took place last week. Tonight, as many Fridays before, I had another release for a product I am looking after. Next week I will have another release for the same product but after next week I will have a week of holiday and Joel is coming to visit us. We plan to do some excursions and have a break from the renovations. Hopefully we are able to finish the living room until then but at least the small room is done so we can provide a guest room.
This week I have hidden a little toy in the garage but that’s a secret for now so I’ll write more about that another time.
