How is the decorating of the study going, I hear you all ask. Well, actually I don't hear anyone asking it apart from A Woman of No Importance, but that's not going to stop me from telling you...
The ceiling has had four coats of white, the walls have been stripped and had four coats of magnolia paint, the windows have had two coats of white and the door frame has had a coat. My trousers have had a coat - mixed magnolia and white. Then came time to give the door a coat. Needless to say I had removed the door handle and, as always, I had made sure I had a pair of pliers in the room in case the door closed on me. At least, I thought I had the pliers in the study with me. When the door slammed in the wind I discovered I didn’t - they were on the landing. I phoned Jo - who was downstairs - but she was in one of her ‘not-answering-the-phone’ moods. So I happily painted away until such time as she got around to listening to her messages! Good job I didn’t do it when she was at work. The door has now had two coats but looks awful so I may sand it down and do it again.
In the meantime I have to use the laptop until the study is finished and my desktop computer is up and running again. I don’t like the laptop keyboard. Indeed, if had left that sentence as it was first written it would be something like “I do’t ke th laotoo keybod“. For reasons best know to itself it leaves lots of letters out. Added to that I don’t have Office on it so I can’t automatically underline spelling errors.
hOWEVER, (The laptop DOES THAT ALL THE TIME AS WELL!) the end result, a clean and bright and hopefully tidy study will be worth it.
