Which one is that, Astrid? 1, 2, 3 or 4? Petal & I both liked 2 and 4 but the extent of glass (and the necessary cleaning) in 4 put Petal off, while the mortuary feel of all that stainless steel put me off. 2 doesn't really excite us either but it's the best of a questionable lot. ;-)

Bathroom- because it's the first room we've completely finished in our reno!

Yes, life goes on for me too, always something to do and a brisk walk always starts the day well and is warming too. Unfortunately we have just as many weeds that like to grow in winter as in summer, so the gardening never really stops but it is a great place to be on sunny days. Heavier work can also be done over winter before the heat of summer. I also like to catch up with friends for lunches in sheltered outdoor eating areas many cafes provide these days. On the really cold, wet days I like to take time out and indulge in my hobbies, winter is a great time to catch up with them and still feel productive.

The view outdoors from the comfortably appointed Aura is the winner for me.
