-We got our lounge fireplace swept so we can have occasional fires on cold nights, on which we could toast marshmallows. We haven't had many yet as the weather has been very mild over winter this year. Also Nikki misremembered marshmallows as being better than they are. Ozzy never liked them to begin with.

-To no one's surprise we have not kept up with the watering schedule for our balconet herb garden long term and they mega died over the summer while we were on holiday.

# Spare Room
-Our main progress since our last update was to improve the spare room. When we moved in, our priority was to get it feeling more habitable as soon as we could. We [steamed the wallpaper off](week1#what-a-week) and [painted it contract white](/week2#the-guest-bedroom-5f) and said ['good enough for now'](/week4#guest-room), with the intention of decorating properly at a later date.

What really sped up our decision to redecorate was that the radiator stopped radiating, and we had guests booked to come over in the wintertime.
