Simple stuff. Homely stuff. It\u2019s good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I\u2019m working a late shift, in the evening. So during the day I\u2019m doing lots of little things: returning an item to Amazon (Dixie cap US Navy hat, that\u2019s too small); tidying the bedroom, area by area; mending a broken picture-frame; and hanging some art back up, on\u2019t walls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brice Marden, back up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Brice Marden artwork above has a damaged frame, sadly. I\u2019ll prob fix it soon-ish. Or I might just get a new\/replacement one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is so often the case, with some of these myriad little jobs, I forgot to take a before<\/em> pic, re the tidying up of cables and power supplies near our bedroom TV and DVD-player. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some tools for this job.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I decided to attach some of the junction type units – an HDMI adaptor, and a four-way plug adaptor, for example – to other things. To create some order where all was ugly and dysfunctional chaos! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ugly junction box attached and hidden.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The little round HDMI hub, or junction box, is now on the back of the TV, instead of just hanging mid-air. And one of the four-gangs is now attached to the wall above the skirting board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That this is a helluva lot neater says something!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And then there\u2019s a Vermeer print with a broken frame and missing glass. I found the missing glass. And the frame is currently gluing\u2026 I trust\/hope?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting this frame repaired\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I even tidied up the area – last night and this morning – around the dining table. I did that for Burns\u2019 Night. Here\u2019s how it looks now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much nicer!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Just in time for Burns\u2019 Night leftovers\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
