Conservatory
We get some w/e sun which means only one thing for the Shakespeares: chores. The front and backyard require weekly work and, since it has been two weeks, a job for idle hands (or, at least, two kids on half-term break). They grumble but I hold a few cards in my pocket : Eitan wants to watch the men's EUFA Champions Final with Joe and Madeleine wants an iPad. The work gets done.
Our conservatory painted inside black, a gutsy decision which somehow brings the garden closer. Eric made the right call.
