No Paint Today

Not from me at least, the SO has been slapping it on like a demon. I have been scraping a wall down ready to be primed and then painted. Then I stripped the kitchen out and had a wonderful time, up to my arm pits with sugar soap, degreaser and general purpose cleaner. The extractor fan was so thick with grease that it peeled off in long strips, sweet.

Anyway the worst is behind us, some masking tape to be applied tomorrow and then it will be time to tackle the woodwork. 

I managed to get the ribbing done on the sleeves and 4 rows of stocking stitch before the siren call of my bed was too loud to be ignored any more.

I added another 500 steps to my walk this morning and (Ben willing) will add another 500 this afternoon, in 20 minutes in fact.

I better get my tea drunk and get Ben into his coat, it is still bitterly cold here but mercifully dry.

  3. I am trying to motivate myself on a cold miserable drizzly day. My mojo has disappeared and I can't be bothered with anything. I need a kick up the bum to get me going

    1. At times like that I do something completely different, sometimes just deciding to clean the oven, for example, brings my mojo running back.

  4. Congrats on adding the steps to your walk! I'm in sore need of walking lately but it's been too darn cold to stay out too long. The paint job sounds very tedious to me!!

    1. It is tedious but it looks so good when it is finished that I don't mind. It has been cold here today, freezing in the shade all day, but nothing compared with you I imagine.
