decorating

The main remedial work on the house is done. It’s dry and water tight. The living room and dining room are done (minus one plank of wood). The kitchen is sort of complete (minus some skirting and a couple of light bulbs). The bedrooms are complete. Sometime we’ll get around to the other rooms.

Saturday I touch up the walls in the kitchen, Therese starts to clear the courtyard of old roses and vines and after three months of neglect … I wash the car. Herbie does his bit by depositing 2 mice with us. Hannah does as little as possible.

Sunday it’s the gloss on the kitchen doors (why does there have to be three?), Therese burns most of the waste. Herbie is feeling quite insecure since we’ve had to lock him and Hannah out to avoid the paint – so compensates by providing 3 mice (albeit one looks very unmouse like). I guess the house across from us is now mouse central.
