A weekend in Cairo

I'm off to Cairo on Friday afternoon, coming back on Tuesday (in time for ante-natal class, of course), but this is work, not play, I'm doing a Tigress upgrade and Egyptians work on Saturdays and Sundays (they're not workaholics, they have Thursday & Friday off).
It should be nice though, they normally put me in the Sheraton on the Nile, and you can see the pyramids from the balcony if the room is on the right side of the hotel, although you do have to squint a little.

What a difference a day makes..


This top photo is the study, with the floor all laid, I just need to put the skirting boards back on. It took two and a half days, two thumbs and a finger to get to this stage.

However, these photos are of the spare bedroom, which will become the nursery, and which I managed to get this far just on Monday, it's amzing what you can do when things actually go to plan!


I just need to finish the last two rows (the most tricky ones) tomorrow morning, then maybe I'll do the porch while I'm in a laminte-positive mood.
The skirting can wait until Olga & Lucy have painted them over the weekend, while I'm in Cairo.
