I type this amid much banging and with a distinctly chemical odor pervading my home. I’m freezing cold as the heating is off, and I’ve got headache kicking in.

But I don’t care because they are almost finished fitting our new front and back door. No longer will the wind whistle round the door frame, no more drafts and wet towels behind doors.

Looks like it’s gonna be a nice cosy winter this year!
