How to wear yerself out: Tuesday, 6th September, 2016.

1:45-ish:

There's no sun today but it is really cowin' humid. Horrible.

We've walked along the river in to town and had some lunch before doing a quick food shop at M&S (where we linger to enjoy the cold air around it's fridges) and now we're on the way home.

We did consider getting a taxi but, hey, we wanted to do 10,000+ steps today so we've trudged along at a pretty slow pace to get here (Gheluvelt Park).

There's only one pick-me-up that can work on a day like this - a Magnum ice-lol!

As we arrive home the Fit Bit buzzes and confirms 10,000 steps. Can't say we're elated.

3:15-ish:

David has had a rest. Vicky hasn't and has made good progress with a first coat of emulsion.

David makes a cuppa tea and takes a photo.

4:00-ish:

Get up the step ladder Dave and get taping and filling-in.

OK Vic.

5:00-ish:

Highly skilled painter gets right into the edges.

The humidity is diabolical - even with all windows open there is absolutely no air let alone fresh air.

We finally finish at 5:40.

We'll do the second coat next week.

Again, whose idea was it to decorate?
