But no, it's finally getting round to painting the dining room. To this effect, if you've not got completely cheesed off with the irregularity and non-knitting-content of this blog over the last few months, please cheer me along. I'm intending to take a pic every 12 hours over the weekend; at 8:30am and 8:30pm; and to blog on progress once a day...
So here's the first shot - as I walked through the door this evening at 8:30pm.
Thursday, 8:30pm
Most of the pictures are down, but that's about it. There's still a very large pile of yarn on the table, and on the floor... You will note the resentful feline apparition by the door at the left. This door is not often closed and is generally wedged open. It took approximately 20 seconds - the time taken to slam the door quite hard to get it to shut, walk through two not-very-big rooms, turn round and aim a camera - for Amelia/Bug to shoot through the cat-flap from the garden at the sound of the door, notice the Problem and start doing the distraught-cat-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-closed-door thing. You'd think she'd been locked away for weeks... But she's a creature of infinite curiosity and extreme patience... always a bad combination...
More tomorrow... if the lurgy that's been stalking me for a week or so doesn't get me first, anyway...
Tomorrow - sugar soap! and Polyfilla! (and does anyone know how to glue stray flaps of ceiling paper back down/up again?)
Can't help you with any DIY advice, I'm afraid but I shall be cheering you on. I think we're going to be going out as much as possible, owing to, er,"waste disposal issues".
ReplyDeleteI hope you're lurgy-free and good to go - it's now 8:50 - I'm looking forward to the next update...
ReplyDeleteMy only tip is plenty of music to sing along to.
