Having The Builders In

 The builders have been in for two...three... I forget how many weeks now- re-making the kitchen from floor to roof. The kitchen is still just about usable, but when I'm in there I keep going to open cupbards that are no longer there.

Phantom cupboards.

Will they be finished by Christmas? 

Dunno.

Christmas isn't cancelled but I haven't put tree up because it would just  add to the clutter in a front room full of displaced kitchenalia.....
