A well earned break for five minutes, I think.
I am feeling quite pleased with myself at the moment. My procrastination is working wonders today. It's the sunshine that's done it. Thank you God. It always seems to give me a burst of energy and today's sudden bright spell is no exception. I'm bright and breezy and raring to go.
I've done another two doorframes-ful of painting and a little bit of skirting board in between. I've probably got another load of grey hairs from it, and I have to admit that I spend the whole time muttering "I wish I could paint, I wish I could paint" as I'm hopeless at it - my hand's not steady enough and I can't hide the brushstrokes and with blotches and blunders left right and centre it never looks as lovely as it might - but it looks far more fresh and clean and welcoming and will probably look a treat when I have painted the walls and got my new carpet eventually installed! :)
Another job that's been bugging me for ages - I took a mop and bucket outside and made several hundred rather large spiders homeless. I felt rather mean doing it... and rather nervous of how they might exact their revenge ... but at least you no longer have to battle your way through a gossamer blanket (Call that gossamer? I've seen finer hessian rope!) to get to my front door.
It's the beginning of a major attempt to get my home looking more like a home and less like a hovel - honestly, I am utterly ashamed of the place - and I am pleased to think that if I can keep this up, I should be living in a more suitable environment by the end of the summer.
What's more, both the washing machine and the tumble drier are busy whirring round as the washing-conveyor-belt springs into action (six loads. SIX LOADS!) and the dishwasher is busy shining the dinner dishes. Impressed?
What do you mean, that doesn't sound like procrastination? Oh it is, I tell you, it is. What I'm really supposed to be doing is tidying the lounge!
