6 of us there were – Nan, C\u00e9cile, Zo\u00eb, Gilles, Yours Truly, and Isabel. We wined and dined and then played a board game.<\/p>\n
It’s quite rare this – me socialising, isn’t it? But I think that I really ought to get out more, and that’s an opinion which everyone else shares.<\/p>\n
This morning I didn’t have my usual go on the website. <\/p>\n
In a change to the advertised programme, straight after breakfast I attacked the shelf unit and varnished it all. This would give it much more time to dry, of course.<\/p>\n
And then I had a problem. <\/p>\n
When I went to take off the lid of the varnish tin, I discovered that it had rusted on and so I had to chisel it off. And what I had to do to it to make it come off meant that it was clearly in no fit state to go back on afterwards. <\/p>\n
It was a large tin – and expensive too – and so I had to find a few more paint tins, throw away the content, clean out the tins and pour the varnish into that.<\/p>\n
Such is life.<\/p>\n
Once the varnish had dried I fitted it all into the cupboard – not without having to do a few little alterations, it has to be said, butnow it fits beautifully – exactly as it should. <\/p>\n
7 shelves there are, and soon there will be 8.<\/p>\n
The metal shelf unit that I had brought upstairs and put in the shower room to store some of the bits and pieces that were loitering around – what was on there didn’t even take up one shelf on the new unit.<\/p>\n
Yes, it’s a monster and quite right too.<\/p>\n
Actually I’m impressed – it goes quite well in there and fits the little cupboard quite nicely. <\/p>\n
And it’s amazing – with that I’ve already managed to put on there, there’s already so much more room to move around in the bedroom and work <\/p>\n
When I’m organised – whenever that might be – and the house is well-advanced, there will be tons of room in there to store all kinds of stuff – you can’t have too much storage room.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I’ll finish off rounding things up and stacking them on the shelves. and once it’s all done I might even have enough room to start cutting plasterboard again.<\/p>\n
