Something else that’s totally unheard-of too. At about 16:00 today I went downstairs and spent an hour working on my walls in the landing!
Mind you, what was astonishing about this was the weather. When I awoke this morning (early yet again) it was snowing – and quite heavily too. And it kept that up for most of the day.
After breakfast I wrote yet another series of radio programmes, in my quest to keep well in front of targets, and then, in other astonishing news, I started to empty the attic. A lot of the foodstuffs – those in glass continers – went outside onto one of the shelves and that made much more space on my table in here. And the shelf – the smaller of the two – isn’t even half-full.
I’ll find some more cardboard to put on the upper shelf tomorrow and move all of the cookery stuff, saucepans and the like, out there. At this rate, i’ll be able to move around in here.
Whatever next?
Well, next was 16:00 and, quite dramatically, the sky cleared and the sun came out. Never one to miss an opportunity, and not knowing when the next time will be that we will have decent weather as the weather forecast for the next few days is dire, I nipped downstairs, switched on the inverter, found the power sander and attacked the filler that I had put on the landing walls last night.
15 minutes had that all smoothed off and, in for a penny, in for a Pound, I filled in where the filler was low.
That’s now drying off and thennext time that we have half an hour of sun, even if it’s tomorrow, I’ll sand it off. I’m already two days behind where I want to be with this bedroom and I can’t afford to lose any more time. Wallpapering the landing on Monday, painting on Wednesday, that’s the next plan. And in between, I’ll empty out the bedroom ready for a work-in.
