Ah, what a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend! SPENT DOING DIY!! Grr! Actually, this is not entirely true. We took a trip to Knole House on Saturday to take advantage of the glorious weather. It was great to sit down in the sun and have a nice picnic. Afterwards we went for a walk. Jake charged up and down while I raced him until he was very red in the face and sweaty. Then we ‘stalked’ some deer that were grazing in the shade. Jake managed to get stung by a nettle(although he would not admit to it) :-).
On Sunday and Monday Jake and Amy went to Granny’s while I finished off the loft room. Sunday was spent painting the woodwork and painting the nooks and crannys the I couldn’t get to with the roller. Some of the plaster was a bit iffy so I had to make it good and sand it before proceeding.
On Monday I painted the walls. It took much longer than usual as the paint I chose is rather thin. By the end of the day I had finished the walls and ceiling. I still have to finish off the loft hatches and put another coat of the chest of drawers. I am given them a new lease of life by spraying them white.
