In addition to hosting our Australian friend Lina for a couple of weeks, we are also having major renovations inflicted on our apartment. The old kitchen is being ripped out, and they are installing a new kitchen, three new wardrobes, and a mini-laundry.

We are locking the kittens up in the study during the day, because the whole house looks like a disaster zone. Boxes, cabinets, and live power tools are all over the place. However, everything seems to be coming together quickly, and the builders seem very dedicated, working from 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM. Fingers crossed when we come home tonight, we will have a fancy new kitchen and we might even be able to stop living out of boxes.
