For all seasons

Being newly carpeted, one feels able to surmount the next round of contractor struggles. Friend Sheila has said that the contractors in Wales are the "worst"...I'm not convinced they could be any less responsive than those in my new home area.

However here is my new neighbor with the fluffy tail (no doubt tale to tell too) - Hans, and his person Theresa. Unwilling to be held by a stranger, Hans was reluctant for a photo at all - but he did tread all four paws onto the new carpeting and poke his head inside my new apartment. So two more weeks and I'm residing in my new flat...probably permanently on the phone trying to find contractors to do something. As of 12/29/06 no word from said contractor on any level. What a world.
