Jen spent the day finishing the fabric stage of covering the loft ceiling. Here's the pool of fabric for covering the final 1/4 of the ceiling. (approx 10 metres of it).

Bought carpet and installed it in the loft.

Hooray for Steve's big strong muscles, helping Jen getting the carpet maneuvered for measuring and cutting, and up up up into the loft. Yay! Also a big yay for double-sided Carpet tape. Just whack the tape down, lay out the carpet to check the fit, pull back sections of the carpet and peel back the upper side of the tape... et Voila!

Steve went to fighter practice and enjoyed using his new helm all night. Still not as comfy or easy to use as the old one, but it does look great! Jen put up the Christmas tree, and Steve finished it all off by adding the angel on top.

Jen's workmate Jools came over for some cheese and wine, and became the loft's first official visitor!

After work drinkies in the boardroom for Jen, then Steve's workmate Dominic arrived with Steve for a few quiet beers and watching the Matrix.

Sat 12 Dec 2009
An easy and slow weekend. Loads of sleep (and sleeping in) and we watched a bunch of movies and played a few games of Yahtzee. Jen did some 1980's style clothes-shopping in preparation for Thursday night's themed Christmas party.
