News letter 01
Hi,
Thanks for subscribing to my mailing list. Today is the start of my thriller novel. A novel I must be honest I wrote some 12 years ago but which had been collecting dust in my drawer. I finally decided to do something with it. You can now follow it day by day online. One page a day with the last page being published on the 20th of July. You will have to log-in, or register first if you haven’t yet, in order to follow the story. Some content I protect against automated copying. Logging on will give you access to that content.
Since the bog’s recent launch I have brought some articles online but there are many more to come.
Many thanks for your comments and support I hope to see you all online soon.
Cheers,
Lizzy

Building works and the intrusiveness into personal life
One of the most intrusive actions into private life one willingly engages into is home renovation or building work.
Most of us will agree that building work in one’s home rarely happens without the necessary amount of stress. Apart from the fact one has to deal with the construction details and problems, the homeowner also needs to cope with the much less considered and investigated but nevertheless important aspects of privacy intrusion.
Strangers walking through the front door with all kinds of materials and equipment, making lots of noise and bringing dust to the most unlikely places and most of all disrupting daily routines, tranquillity and private space, can become very upsetting.
Nevertheless much can be done from the homeowner and equally the builder/architects side to lower the threshold to stress free building work

Who is the man behind your furniture?
Stating that a piece of production furniture always starts with the designer may have been true some 50 years ago, now however chances are it started in some marketing department.
