Draped

My dining room curtains were not fit for purpose.
They were intended for neither the room nor the house in which they hang.

Last week the drapes were formally retired, along with their ugly metal supporting rail.
Yesterday my carpenter fitted a new wooden curtain pole.

Today we hired an auto-rickshaw, braved the monsoon, and hit the mainland in search of textiles.

My upholsterer hopes to have the new curtains in place by Monday..
