Hotting up

Was 30 degrees in the shade at 2pm this afternoon. Claudine's thermometer on the front of her house read over 40 deg C an hour later as the sun caught it. Even our mate, the European green lizard was looking for some shade in our porch....!So of course I decided to work up a sweat in the attic painting the chimney breast wall while Andy constructed the shelving units for the airing cupboard in the bathroom. I now have somewhere to store my sheets and towels, duvets and pillowcases - yay! From this....
to this. All in all, a much better use of space than the previous set up. Photos of the attic to follow once I have done the second coat, but it is certainly starting to look lush up there!
