Last night we both greatly enjoyed Ben Hur live.
This morning Jen was enthused to go into the loft and finish putting up the rest of the insulation. We originally didn't buy enough, and now finally, this step of the job is finished.

Much of this fortnight has been work and more work, and in our spare time mainly going through Steve's present - five complete seasons of Babylon 5.

OK, that may be the only time Steve is mentioned in this blog entry, sorry about that, but it has been a fairly unexciting fortnight ... well everything's unexciting after seeing Ben Hur live of course!

Jen went to Oil painting class, and did her first oil painting.
Well it's only a one hour sampler really.

After work Melisende (Fiona) came over and here she is laying out the page sizes on her piece of sheepskin parchment, before we cut it down. The hides are so large, the best way to "put it away" is to cut it down to manageable sizes to fit neatly away.

Sometimes its a load of fun being a graphic designer!
Here's a little something Jen whipped up at work:

Jen spent £40 on buying 42 metres of thick cream-coloured satin; then spends a few hours cutting up fabric, and on the sewing machine (for the next stage of the loft). More DVD watching in the evening.

Jen spent more time sewing, and finally staple-gunning this piece in place. Well, that's a weekend's work, and only a quarter of the ceiling done!

Oil painting for Jen. This one took approx 2 - 2.5 hours.

Steve's off to fighter practice tonight, and now the blog is done once more.
