Oh, and the wall behind where it stood is the colour that was originally there before the place was painted bright yellow: a sort of russet colour like this █ , which must have made the place incredibly dark and gloomy
A very tasteful colour.
I rather like the daffodil white in my office, which is just as well really.
Everything else is painted one or other shade of off-white, usually with some fatuous name, in soft sheen emulsion.
Naturally when I was halfway through, Dulux decided to stop doing that so it then had to be mixed in the shop.
The back bedroom was a particularly hideous shade of pink which took lots & lots of overpainting to turn into something I could live with.
The front bedroom has never been painted since it's a reasonable blue colour.
The outside bog walls were bare concrete, but I found a tin of green paint in one of the sheds & painted the walls with that to stop the sand in the mix falling on the floor all the time.
The spiders were particularly displeased with this, but have had to put up with it.
In other news, the weekly kedgeree has been cooked & eaten. It was pretty good this week.
I used dyed haddock again. (Morrisons reduced).
Also another large sausepan of lentil <pfffffft> soup is simmering on the hob since the carrots and parsnips were beginning to look a bit dodgy in the nasty black bits department.
It's definitely going to be one of those days when the last job to do will be cleaning the dustpan and brush with soap and water
I've become frivolous.
I've noticed certain things are so cheap there is not point in cleaning them if they get really mucky due to the time taken to clean them properly or the cost.
Dustpan and brushes are one of them.

Only took a quick rinse under the tap in the end. They're just cheap plastic ones from Wilko's, and there's a Wilko's about two minute's walk up the road, but rinsing them was even lazier easier than replacing them
By the time I'd finished today's adventures in the kitchen, it was too late to have my sausage and bacon baguette, as it would have destroyed my appetite for dinner - then I would have got hungry at about half midnight, and ended up filling up on crisps and chocolate
So I just had a bag of Hula Hoops, and went to the Chinese for dinner a bit earlier than usual
