"So we booked the flights," Andy's email read. It then showed that Colin and him will be in Amsterdam from Wednesday 30 May until Sunday 3 June - and that is just wonderful news. It's wonderful, and also a tad scary. The way my flat looks now is OK... but now good. And I want it to look much better than what it looks now. That means that in between now and Wednesday 30 May (just two weeks away! Yikes!) I will have to put a lot of work and effort into making the place look better. Among the things that will have to get done is a curtain that I will need to hang up between my sleeping area (i.e. bed) and living area (i.e. space for the airbed) so that I can at least offer them a minimal degree of privacy.
I will also need to do something about the lost corner of my studio (actually, one of two lost corners) because the little French cupboard I once borrowed from Günter, and which was moved by bike to my new place, just doesn't look nice in the corner in which it stands. I would love to replace it with a much larger cupboard that will be able to store much more stuff, including my microwave, coffee maker and water boiler. There's also the space next to my bed that looks a bit horrible. A large metal box is in that corner and I use it to put laundry in... but not too often (much more often I wash it straight away) and so that corner looks a bit messy as well. And then there's the issue of a carpet underneath my dinner table (which doubles as computer table) - that's still missing. Maybe good to get that as well? But OK, for tonight I'm just thinking of things to get organised before Andy and Colin's visit. And I will do that while drinking a whisky. Tomorrow the real work will commence.
