We’re upgrading the flooring in our kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen is half done. New on the left. It’s a Koa wood laminate. Broader grain and looks more like wood.

London’s Liverpool Street station redevelopment: on the wrong track?
Hope they sort this out. When we were in London, we stayed near Liverpool St. and this station was our hub. Great memories. I think we had breakfast at Hamilton Hall JD Wetherspoon every morning.
End of a love affair: AM radio is being removed from many cars
