But the piles of dust were there. <BR/><BR/>Hi Julie - That sounds like the sort of cleaning I had to do - but I moved into this room to work in 1989 - so that's ten years more dust behind the shelves.<BR/><BR/>Anne, I'm so looking forwar to showing you the new office. I think Sid has acccepted that the new carpet (which is named 'Biscuit' ) will show off his beautiful fur to purrfection - or perhaps he just thinks that I'm putting down lots and lots of biscuits on the floor.<BR/><BR/>Anna, you would know - like Anne you've seen the room in its original form - so you'll be one of those best able to appreciate the changes. I hope you can come and see them soonKate Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17277223651288830541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-1157007184948715742006-08-31T07:53:00.000+01:002006-08-31T07:53:00.000+01:00Wow, that must have been a lot of hard work, Kate!...Wow, that must have been a lot of hard work, Kate!

But I must admit I'm a little surprised that Sid hasn't lobbied for a purple carpet and a sign declaring it An Alternate Throne Room!Anne McAllisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04408045786951555625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-1156859652844847922006-08-29T14:54:00.000+01:002006-08-29T14:54:00.000+01:00I sort of know how you feel about the dust.

Last week at work, my colleague and I decided to clean some trays which hadn't been cleaned since we've had them (since 1999) and the dirt that came off them. Yuk. We had to use a wipe for each tray. At least it's all set now for the new year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-1156852071995313682006-08-29T12:47:00.000+01:002006-08-29T12:47:00.000+01:00I am betting your old carpet was not as old as my ...I am betting your old carpet was not as old as my old carpet in the living room. When we took it up a few years ago, there was a handwritten label about it coming by cart to Haydon Bridge... The piles of dust underneath it were incredible.<BR/><BR/>But congrats on the new book and the new deadline...and the wonderfully room...Michelle Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400990189443593076noreply@blogger.com
