As a reward for taking on extra responsibilities at work, XY was provided a suite of rooms to decorate to his own specifications.

He left the dull pink bathroom as it was, but had the walls redecorated using remnants of pink and purple 1970s wallpaper. He also put down a vile pink shag pile carpet throughout the suite.

Meanwhile, in the period between exam boards and the announcement of marks, our boss volunteered to prepare my knitting exercise for the start of the new academic year in September.
