We've put on the first coat of ivory paint for three of our lounge walls. Next we'll get the second coat up (totally needed) and then paint our "feature wall" a lovely shade of olive! So exciting!!!! This has been a long time coming, I can tell you that. Next I need to call in a joiner (that's British for a carpenter) to put in the skirting and molding around the Edinburgh press that Simon so wonderfully opened up the other day. The next round of video should be really nice.
Oh, and we're now officially not supposed to drive in the UK... Our foreign licences were only good for one year, and I arrived here on July 5th. Simon got his provisional licence already and will have to take a written and driving test before he's legal again. I'm still waiting for my provisional licence (and passport that they made me give them!) to get mailed to me. Then I'll have to take the tests too. But in the mean time, provisional licence holders can't drive on the motorway (British for freeway) ever, and we can't drive period without someone who has had their UK licence for at least 3 years! So, I've been studying up on UK driving regulations, and man this test is so much more comprehensive than the ones in the US. Plus there's all of this crazy stuff in there like knowing the difference between various types of cross walks (called Zebra, Puffin, Pelican, Toucan, and Pegasus crossings - no joke!) and how to use roundabouts.
