I think I *do* like it!

Kitchen is pretty much done, now, other than a couple of spots (eg, where they had to put a skim of plaster up). Hall next week. And Parental Visitation, eek. (Actually, relatively good timing: "No, Mother, of course the house isn't tidy, I've got the builders in...".)

Now we need some way to fix the kitchen roll to the wall, complicated by the fact that we usually buy it from Costco, where they're an inch or two longer than a normal roll....

Does it say more about the uncoolness of me or more about the passe-ness of South Park that the first I heard of the South Park RPG was on R4's Front Row this evening...?

Ah yes, it looks even better now than with the primer.

It could be that you need a USian holder for the kitchen towels. Something tells me that that could be imported somewhat easily, perhaps, later this summer....

Genius! Of course, I should have thought of that!

I'll have a poke around amazon.com and see if I have better luck there.

You could also check out Target.com, bedbathandbeyond.com, and bostonstore.com -- search for "paper towel holder"

I've found a lovely one (with piggies!) at Pottery Barn. Hmm....

(Mike points out that, given the shipping costs, it would be cheaper to just stop buying our kitchen roll at Costco. He may have a point!)

Surely you know a US fan who'd be willing to bring one to Loncon? Or is that too long to wait?

I might be a bit too impatient for that, but I dare say some people will be coming over at Easter as well. Hmm.
