We were
pretty comfortable. I’d stocked up the store cupboard before panic buying struck
the nation. We’d gone out and bought
supplies for DIY and craft projects. We’d
sorted out home-working via Zoom easily.
And then we
made a mistake.
As new Lockdown
guidance made it possible, the kitchen design company got in touch.
We had arranged with them to have our kitchen done at the start of
April. However, everything had been
postponed.
But now we
could go ahead (with careful social distancing precautions, of course).
What better
time to renew the kitchen? We can’t have
friends round for dinner and we’re not going anywhere.
At least, I
thought it was a good time.
But today
our formerly pleasant kitchen is a hollowed-out waste.
I am
cooking on a camping stove on the patio.
Worst
of all, the fridge is now in the room where Nigel works. Every time I creep in for a surreptitious
snack, he flicks his laptop open and says, “I’ll just add it to the
spreadsheet!”
And I’m not
sure he’s joking.
Woe is me.
