Tesselations

Quick update -
Tiler has now finished the ensuites front and back and they now need painting.

He was nearly finished on the kitchen last night when he ran out of tiles. Unfortunately, these tiles originally took about 10 days to order so I am going to have to put some pressure on the tile place today to get some as soon as possible.

The bathroom tiles STILL haven't showed up although they are saying they will be in on Monday....I'll be greatly angered if they aren't as the tiler is waiting on them and we may lose him to another job if they don't turn up soon.

The bathroom taps would appear to have a solution in the form of replacing the quarter turn spindle inside the taps with a regular turn affair. This should hopefully increase the throughput on the taps whilst maintaining their outward appearance which is a win-win for all !

No more painting done since the first coat went on that front room. I intend to push on with that this coming week after I finish my round of shifts.

On a separate note, thanks to everyone who sent gifts, cards or well wishes for my birthday this week. I had a most agreeable time (followed by a not-so-agreeable morning-after but hey, I didn't get any younger !)

You can see some of the results from my new lens and other stuff on flickr which is linked up ----^ there somewhere.

I'll try and post some pictures of the tiling efforts just as soon as I take some !

All the best
Pete
