This morning I keep catching a view of different parts of my body and sporting daubs of gloss paint I hadn't realized I'd knelt in/ stepped in/ elbowed / ???? While Steve and all our lodgers are away I have been attacking our tired looking home armed with brushes, rollers, paint and audio books. I am absolutely loving giving the place a face lift. I was only supposed to do a few jobs but as my obsessive OCD kicked in I've been up until midnight most nights learning the art of a steady hand. I thought I might be going too far when I found myself climbing out our bathroom window (I am not as flexible as I used to be) and standing on extention's roof to attack the outside. Will post photos but right now I'm looking forward to showing Steve first :) xc
