Subsidence.

Mostly it is painting and mending. Gluing plasterboard to replace the damaged sections. I painted the living room dark blue. Our multicoloured bathroom is being transformed into white and lunar grey. The bathroom cabinet, smashed and battered has gone. A clean white and whole one hangs in its place.

It feels a little strange though, unsettling somehow. Changes I guess. Change and rebalancing isn't always comfortable. 

After the Dudley earthquake (!) our house resettled with a massive crack through the living room wall. It was caused by subsidence, and we got it fixed and it's OK...or not. Have to wait for another earthquake! 

In theory better to experience this re-settling, and discover that the foundations need repair than to live in ignorance...
