Hard work

trying to combine more than one thing today

as I slept better than I have been doing for ages.

It made for a better night.

Less tossing and turning 

but still not quite the deep sleep my body

requires.

I dream too much.

So today I am turning my attention to

Hard Work.

We have been busy with the bedroom for

simply too long already.

I need to strip off all the old wallpaper

before we can assess the criminal state

of the plaster underneath.

And fill the huge missing chunks in.

There is a disgracefully bad blind in the window

which I have removed this morning.

If I can sleep without it I will dispose of it with pleasure!

In between wetting the walls and scraping diligently

I am attempting some Bath Buns.

So far our attempts with yeast have failed miserably.

Even Tim struggled with his Chelsea Buns! 

My friend tried rolls and buns in her Kitchen Aid

yesterday but they were not great either.

I refuse to accept defeat. 

I must be able to make something really good!!!!

I even turned up the heating to encourage a good rise!

The cats are in heaven cuddling the radiator which is 

currently oozing temperatures they have never known!

Will it work?

No idea.

It's a Mary Berry recipe, Mr. Hollywood

so it ought to.

I HOPE.

Meanwhile I am continuing to take out my frustrations

on the wallpaper.
