MORE SNOW

I’m replacing the hall carpet with copies of The Times as it’s cheaper than shag pile and you get regular news updates on the way to the lounge.

Preparing to paint the wallpaper

This week’s tabloids are full of ‘spies r us’ reports or rather spies and Russia since the attempted poisoning of ex-double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter.  Salisbury is now top of Secret Escapes’ ideal holiday locations for former spies.  I read with interest that Theresa May has threatened to cyberattack Russia.  Will that involve bombarding their mailboxes with countless adverts for Foxy Bingo, recipes for Yorkshire pudding and video clips of Britain’s Got Talent? Definitely the most effective way to pummel Russia into submission!

Woke up this morning and what a surprise

Whilst the politicos and Ruskies hammer it out in the press, more snow has fallen.  Not as much as last time but still enough to make one dread the oppressive gloom of urban winter that always appears when it should be spring.

The oppressive gloom of urban winter

My poor little olive - snowed on again!

There’s nothing like a spot of painting to banish those winter blues.  

Bring on the Nutmeg White

Downstairs hallway gets the Dulux treatment

Nutmeg White - a slightly pinkish beige shade of white

Put on some cheery tunes, crack out the emulsion roller and bish, bash, bosh – I always feel so much better after a bit of Dulux.  

Keep fit with Dulux
