My day

After several hours during the week clearing and cleaning up a messy garden my day started like this

I just asked him, apparently he has one, he says it's the cutting in that that he will find difficult, so he will just have to take it slowly. I can't help him as I just can't take the paint smell it makes me quite sick.

How do you do the cutting in underneath the architraves though?  I would make a hell of a mess.

Need a ladder for cutting in, all rolling is with the pole though.

I think lime green appliances would look great too.  Green and lilac go well together.

My bedroom colours are lime green I was thinking a light khaki paint.

The pepper grinder just fell apart while I was cooking dinner and the chicken and sweetcorn soup is now full of peppercorns.....It wont worry me, but I dont think the kids will be very impressed lol.

Had that happen when I made a pot of soup at my daughters house. Fishing out whole pepper corns a s quick as I could. No ome complained. Poor pepper grinder was a throw out though

haha, I tried to fish them out with a strainer but the leek was coming with them so I gave up. My daughter sprung me sweeping them off the kitchen floor and they are still all over the stove top, no hiding the fact I did it....doesnt taste too bad though 🙂

Yep, green and lilac go very well.  I have light sage green on my lounge/dining room walls and a feature wall in the dining room of green and mauve wallpaper.  There are a couple of small prints of mountain scenery with mauve matts in the wooden frames and they look great.

It all needs repainting as it is many years old but I can not make up my mind whether to change it.  It was done when the fashion was for cream or white walls which I hated.....I bucked the fashion then so I might just stick with it and be old fashioned.

Get a long handle?

I don't feel like posting here anymore someone is causing trouble. I was hoping to share the end result with everyone but that's not going to happen now.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments and encouragement.
