Curtain Hooks

Was there ever a more fykie task than hanging curtains? The answer is probably yes but honestly it's a pain and explains why I mainly rely on blinds and the original wooden shutters I'm lucky enough to have in the house rather than curtains. However there is one at the front door which keeps the chill off the hall in the colder months. Earlier in the year I took the curtain down and had it dry cleaned. It was in need of that. Now I must rehang it because the cooler weather is definitely here. It's a job for a damp day which we have today.

Fykie is a good Scots word which my mum used. It means various things and today it means fussy or tricky. Well that's what I want it to mean anyway.
