Getting Round to Things

A fairly busy weekend has been had, hence not a lot of updates on here.

The office room has been semi-stripped, with a lot of stuff moved out, and another lot of stuff (mainly bookcases and my old desk) snapped up and taken to the dump. Then we’ve painted half the walls. When that’s done, the remaining half of the office will be moved into the newly-decorated bit, and then we can paint the remaining walls too. In effect we’re doing the work with a minimum of disruption to our worklife, which does involve working from home.

In addition to shopping, dump runs, decorating and dog-walking, the plans for the rest of the house redevelopment have come together, with Herself knocking up a plan of what needs doing in the utility room etc. In addition, we’ve had a plumber round to give us a quote on the work that needs doing on the bathroom and kitchen – and he’s come back with an amount that seems pretty respectable.

Oh, and I’ve been able to knock together the database layouts, requirements, and tables for two sites I’m working on. One’s my own, the other’s more on the “potential” list at the moment, but has given me more of an idea about what I’m letting myself in for. Now I just need to do a bit of research on setting up https pages, which is something I’ve never done before…
