Sorting out those final few chores

We’ve had a weekend of odd-jobs. I finally got around to changing the wiring on a double light switch (the left switch turned on the right light and vice-versa), programming the central heating timer (it’s only just got cold enough to bother us), and beginning to move some of our possessions into the loft. Of course, I did send my wife into the loft first in order to flush out all of the flies. There were still quite a considerable number of them buzzing around, but another fly spray killing spree soon sorted them out. We now have the Christmas decorations up in the loft as well as our rather extensive luggage collection. My final job is to sort through the remaining 20 boxes in our spare room. I can hardly wait.
