Book finished, curtains up

The Woman in White  was gripping but I read it reaaaaally slowly to savour the text. Eventually, however, I finished the book and had to face the curtain job. I put the curtains up today. It took most of the day but it was worth the effort.

Mustard curtains -they glow when the sun shines through.

Parsifal played as I put up the curtain rail props, as I attached the rails, as I put the hooks on the curtains and as I threaded the curtain hooks into the rails. I needed all  five Parsifal hours to complete the job.

Mustard curtains

I have had bedroom curtains waiting to be hung since arriving here and finally I am getting around to doing something about them. I bought some white material at IKEA last week and over the weekend I made lining for the curtains and took them up. They are a lovely luxurious mustard colour, Italian material bought from Fabric Fantasy in Sydney when it closed six or seven years ago.

Now I just have to put up some curtain rails.
