Fluffy Glass Blanket

It's been a little while, but I've finished putting new/additional loft insulation in the lofts. I started in February, but needed more insulation than would fit in the car (or be stored), so stopped after doing most of the loft above the master bedroom. I've now done the loft above the guest bedrooms, and the smaller loft above the bathrooms, which has taken about nine rolls. I've still got several rolls left, as the offer (a British Gas subsidised offer of £5 per roll (about 5m2)) was too good to miss. The spares will wind up either in the porch/utility, above the downstairs loo/cloakroom/porch, or as increased depth in the main lofts.

We've also ordered a new cooker. Building work to open the kitchen out into the hall is planned for the end of July, and we'll be putting in a new kitchen shortly after. The cooker's going to be sitting waiting for a little while, therefore, but it was an ex-display with 30% off. We'd admired it once or twice while browsing, so we leapt at the opportunity of getting it cheaply! Well, relatively cheaply.

It's been a bit damp and grey, but the weather's meant to improve over the week, so I'll probably be out mowing the lawn on Wednesday or Thursday. Next weekend, we'll need to get everything in order for the double-glazing installation on the 7th (clearing the windowsills, for one thing), and I hope to install one or both of the irrigation system and the tap/hose for the vegetable garden.

Will either happen? I just don't know.
