Why girls take so long in the bathroom

I Think I figured out why Sephie takes so long in the bathroom. Each morning before school she takes more than what I would think is needed to "take care of business." The other day I figured it out. the basement bathroom has a magazine rack loaded with cycling literature. Dirt Rags, Velonews, bike catalogues, mail order stuff and an electrical code book are there for reading while, um, well, while I have spare time. But I noticed the various magazines left on the TP basket after she was finished the other morning. The phrase "you have to start them young" comes to mind.
Now that winter has arrived Fella has taken to holding down wool blankets. Merlin is using the power of suggestion more often to get me to have a seat as well.
Our fist accumulation of snow occurred recently. Roughly 2" covering our home.
The view from the dining room of Casa Bonjour. Matt cleared out his garage (British pronunciation) and has the fixies hung nicely and is able to park the car inside out of the elements.

The bathroom is moving along nicely. Two coats of primer seen here followed by two coats of "Navaho White" which looks like a nice honey/straw shade of tan.
Perhaps a reading rack under the window would be something Sephie would like?

The plumbers came yesterday and installed the valves on the pipes for the toilet and the sink. I'll be putting in the lighting today and sealing the grout, then I'll play with my caulk. I'll be rubbing the tip of my caulk around the edges of the tile.
