You know that 6 foot long 2 inch wide wooden batten that is nailed to the wall and runs above the window, the one that you fix a pole or curtain track to?
Yes, like that one ^ The one that Himself said couldn't be removed? "Impossible" he said. "It's nailed into the plaster & you won't shift that, so don't try it."
Very little @lewis, so I've gained Brownie points by proving Jones wrong when he said half the wall would come down if I attempted it. In fact, only a small chunk bit came away when I got to the part where I gritted my teeth and "used unreasonable force with the jemmy" (his words) & he's now filled that with some gloopy stuff. The downside is that he's decreed I'm now on 24 surveillance. Never mind eh, that will soon pass.
I have finally finished painting the study. Traumatised I am, traumatised. It wasn't just painting you know. Oh, no. It was clearing out the storage cabinets and emptying the bookcase. Then there was the cleaning. Those Venetian blinds are just dust collectors. Himself is traumatised too. I made him sort through all the books I intended to throw out & take all the books he wanted to keep out of my study & move them upstairs to his study. Those we both didn't want had to be stored in the garage until the tip is open again for business. He was so rattled that he walked into the corner of the garage door cutting his head but the garage door is fine. I'm going for a lie down now.

Mr FP has been re-painting the front door - he wanted a new one but Covid 19 has delayed the plan. He had just painted the doorstep bit in black paint when Tesco rolled up and Boris decided to exit via front door leaving paw prints in the paint and black paint on the drive.

Not the dreaded step painting! Himself constructed a concrete step from the kitchen patio doors on to the patio. Fair play, it was a bit of a drop before he did this. Being Himself, he made it very wide and very long and then he decided to paint it grey. Yes, that's right, it looked just the same in grey as it did in ...Concrete. Not to worry - who am I kidding! Fast forward a few years and many chips later, he decided it needed doing again so he mixed up paints he had in the garage & without a by your leave slapped it about like fun. It was bright teal. I swear you could see it from space. Now Jones is colour blind. It is a well known fact, but he stood there and argued with me that it was grey and there was something wrong with my eyesight.
When I moved here, I painted white stripes along the front edges of some shallow steps that I’ve got in my garden because, with my history of visiting concrete, I didn’t want to end up base over apex (or teeth and head first.) 😳
I've been up the ladder again. I seem to have a lot of paint left in my second tin so I've painted one wall in the entrance porch where Ruby sleeps. She'll not like the smell in there tonight. Smells of wet dog.
All change. After ordering a new rug for the porch thus changing the colour scheme, I've painted the one wall ^^ blue, the same dark blue I've got on the chimney breast in the lounge which just so happens to match one of the blues in the rug perfectly.
