Apologies for the quality of the photos but with the light, the lenses and the angles involved it just wasn't going to be a good set of shots. Hopefully you can see what the room looked like before and after. I really, really like what it looks like now.

At time of publishing I hadn't actually got around to choosing a paint to go over the matt white undercoat which I've just applied. It'll be waterproof, obviously and probably match one of the colours of the tiles.

Kris and went to Paris! Ostensibly this was to reset her tourist visa, but it turned out she still had three months left on it. No matter as we needed the holiday. We saw pretty much everything the city has to offer (the Louvre, the islands, the Seine, Notre Dame, the catacombs, went shopping, ice-cream, churches, all the Quarters, the Eiffel Tower and all on foot too!) Interesting, a chance to see lots of things and talk about more. Definitely a really rather good time on all counts.

Kris was spending some time in China, researching her Ph.D, teaching to get free accommodation and generally using her time usefully. Given she speaks/reads/writes Mandarin and knows an awful lot about China we figured it'd be the very best time for me to come and visit her and China. Especially as we both needed a holiday.

Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai, Yangshuo and back to Beijing again. Some fabulous hotels, amazing archeological and historical sites, lots of people (LOTS of people) and some truly astounding scenery. Not to mention some lovely company.

Perhaps a few more shots of Jenny than everyone else (-:
