Progress report

Slow. I think that about sums up what's been happening! I am currently revving up to do the wall with the pre-papering solution. I've been down on my hands and knees again doing the last pieces of the skirting board with undercoat this morning. It takes its toll! Must admit I hate the fact that my knee is no longer able to cope with being knelt upon, as it is restricting. Both indoors and in the garden so double blow!! Still, I keep standing up and stretching and having a little rest - still today and tomorrow to get to where I need to be. I am having trouble covering up the pink on the radiator though - what a pain! I am spraying it white but it still looks patchy pink to my eyes, even after two coats, so I know it needs more.

I have been searching around for bedlinen we might love. not like, but love. I swing between duck egg and multi-bright reds and greens etc. I look around on Pinterest and see so many ideas but still the colour issue haunts me. I suppose it has to do with mood - season - the a'sphere - the furniture: black or white bed frame; black or white curtain rod; white or wood furniture etc. I have not reached a definitive conclusion. The word 'money' has a lot to do with this hesitation to be truthful. Where to spend the small budget we have for the largest effect? Where to cut corners or pick up for peanuts at the second-hand store - where to re-use what we already have - so it goes on. I know it will all be fine in the end. It  always is really, isn't it?

Tim and Amber have landed safely in Morocco - I was relieved to get the text during the night. I imagine them waking up this morning to a bright sunny day, walking down to breakfast, eyeing up the pool, looking what the hotel complex has to offer.......sunbathing, swimming, enjoying the bar!!!!
How lovely for them. They will not want to come back home!

Me? I just have to wait for my turn next year. Nothing so exotic as Morocco but the prospect of a week in The Lakes with Jackie is just as nice. We had such a great time last time we went, and now have a couple of 'dead certs' we will want to do, as well as finding more unfamiliar places to walk and explore.
Mmm...better start a search on Pinterest then!!!

Or continue with another stretch of decorating........

Going to see "About Time" this evening with Ann. We have had such awful news the last week or so, that we need cheering up, and this romantic comedy looks like the perfect antidote. Ladies Night, here we come!!!
