Today I shall be Mainly...

Morning

Typically dark but clear morning, no rain but wind forecast. This morning we are popping to B&Q in Bury to look at paint as our lounge badly needs decorating. We had a couple of damp patches on the chimney breast ( which I noticed whilst lying on the floor doing pilates). There was a slight leak in the flashing round the chimney. This has been repaired by our neighbour, a roofer, and the patch has now dried out leaving a stain on the wall paper. Its a big room that has a central folding screen that opens up to a bigger one, by including the dining room. Thus both rooms need decorating. Its going to be a long job as we have two big heavy dressers, one in each room which will need emptying.. Bob wants to start by painting the screen.

Today otherwise we will be packing for a couple of days away in Coventry and I have a routine GP appointment at tea time. We have a Tesco delivery and a meat delivery and this afternoon Wendy and Keith are calling round for a cuppa. Have a good day all

Back in the world and waiting for my tea to brew. That was a good second sleep. When I have settled in to the morning and can see daylight I shall attend to my pork belly and get it in the slow cooker with onions and oranges. There will be no shortage of choices for Xmas Dinner!

The pork belly is in the slow cooker with the oranges, onions and spices. Now it just needs time and patience.

Sorry I ignored your post Sue! For some reason I overlooked it. I had a damp patch last year, turned out it was a cavity in the wall that was trapping water. My builders tracked it down and over time the plaster in the front room dried out. Because my standards aren't as high as yours that was good enough for me. I hope you find the paint you want.
We are dry here in Barlick but the overcast is 100% and no sign of a break.
