Today I took back possession of the apartment from the tenants, so the work can start in earnest to get the place ready for paying guests. I'm staying here for a few days, and so long as the temptation to leave the building and go play in the mountains stays at bay, I am focussed on getting some decorating done.
I live quite a few miles away from Aviemore, so today the car was rammed full of my walking and skiing gear, together with the 47 inch smart TV and a heap of decorating stuff. There was about room for me to drive. Not long after getting here, Paul and Liz arrived. They are friends of my parents (they met on holiday years ago) and live locally. Paul will be tiling the bathroom, so tomorrow I need to check when the plumber can come round to size things up.

The broadband and smart TV are now set up and I've been having a play with the TV; it's excellent, and nicely streams iPlayer. I'm very pleased with the purchase, and it's better than mine at home. I may be buying another of these very soon! The laptop and mobile are connected to the WiFi too, and have to say that I am impressed with TalkTalk's whole broadband product so far. Setting things up was literally plug & play.
The lounge is a bit of a tip as a result, but it's just the packaging and that's easily tidied away. To be honest, the whole apartment needs a good clean even before the decorating starts. Sugar soap will work wonders with the place. It's a good job the weather forecast for tomorrow is rubbish, which will force me to get started...
