It has been a day of tasks and chores, all of it centreing on getting the bathroom up and working as soon as possible. First up was to put the first coat on the ceiling; a one person job, and Jools volunteered to do that, so I headed to Preston to the butchers to stock up on stuff for the freezer.
It was a glorious morning when i left, golden sunlight streaming over the land from the just-risen sun. There was little traffic about and i headed the way I normally go to work, and then turning inland at Sandwich and then onto the marshes at Nash.
Once there I chatted to mark about the horse meat thing in the news, and we were of one mind; people get what they pay for and getting a pound of burgers for a quid, is it surprising corners were being cut? I got steak, some beef skirt, some peppered minute steaks and lots of sausages that were on offer, and headed back home.
Tony came at half nine with his trailer, so we could load the old bits of bathroom and take them to the tip. All was going well until he pulled away and the trailer detached itself and missed every parked car before coming to rest on the pavement. We re-attached it, and then drove very carefully to the tip, dumped the bits and headed back for some wall action.
The one wall we did paint is now red. Very red, but should look better once we put the top coat on tomorrow. Mid-afternoon, we did another coat on the ceiling, and that was all we could really do today. So, tomorrow, two coats on three walls and one on the other. And fingers crossed that should be it....
Listened to the radio whilst trying not to fall asleep, and City once again failed to score, and slipped to another 0-0 draw this time with Fulham, but it means we have not won in nine games on a run stretching back to the middle of December.
Time now for a shower and so off to Tony's we go, towels in hand.
