A cunning plan!

That which is unbloggable continues, but the end is in sight.

In the meantime, I have a cunning plan.

The work load is in it's seasonal slowdown. (Well, in my case it's been over loaded whilst everyone else's slowed down, but after Monday it will be seasonally normal!) So, I'll only be going to work three days a week until mid-August now. Maybe mid-September.

Since the purchasing of the new spectacles, the world has come into focus, and I am acutely aware my surroundings are somewhat dingy, and could do with freshening up. Actually, I've known this since I moved in, it's just I can see it now.

It would seem I am staying put in this little house that's become home for the next few years. Point 2 was liveable with when this was a short term option, and not likely to be more than six months or so. Now it's becoming longer term, and I'm into my 19th month here, it's annoying me.

So, after negotiating with my landlady, I shall keep myself occupied this summer with a bit of painting and decorating. Nothing fancy, but it will be fun to do.

Just to choose a colour now. I've agreed to keep it a pale colour, as it's a small, potentially dark house, and the two rooms I use most are north facing. Myself, I've nothing against magnolia, but I'm willing to consider other options.
