    I can totally understand that love. I think it's good to be honest about it and talk about it.
    What colour are you painting it? Fancy coming to do my hall stairs and landing when you've finished yours?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    It'll be white not just any white but BRILLIANT white, hey hall stairs and landings are not easy to paint safely you need a long pole and a roller and not as my dad used to do a plank from the landing windowsill to the banister I cringe when I think back

    Had a nice lunch of salmon (out of a tin) a huge tomato, pickled onion and a slice of wholemewal bread washed down with a coffee.

    Was going to do my painting yesterday but went shopping had lunch then fell asleep

    Today when I've posted here I'm going to fire up Robbie le Rotavator and have a go at preparing the soil for my spud/veggies patch hope I don't get bogged down.

    Long poles are great, until you have to do the cutting in..... be careful
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Robbie struggled had to keep stopping the tines got completely blocked very quickly, job done as best as I could. Guess what it is raining again.

    Stella most of my rooms are brilliant white except the kitchen which is magnolia.

    Brilliant idea fixed the aeration tine to mini-rotavator time to aerate the lawn, absolutely useless barely scratched the surface so change of tines used mini-rot on veggie plot soil way too sticky though it did break down the soil a lot.

    Might do some moss scarifying this afternoon.

    My extendable pole (all 5 metres of it) and squegee (spelling) arrived yesterday so I'm now equipped for window cleaning with my feet on solid ground.

    I’m so relieved about the window cleaning kit, love
