Tinker, Tiler ...


I ordered 32 square metres of Italian floor tiles from RIVOLAND in Canberra which arrived this morning. They will replace the old carpets in the two small downstairs bedrooms. Out with the dustmites, in with the tiles!

It will be a real pleasure to feel those cool, clean tiles underfoot as I jump out of bed in the morning. As they say in German, "Getiletes Leid ist halbes Leid.



P.S. To my Greek friend Nick: the boxes come with laying instructions in Greek (not that there are many in Greece right now who can afford them). I think they read, "Never on Sunday!"
