neeeaaaarly there ..... no really!

Attic - just awaiting delivery of my fab new colour for the chimney breast wall which will hopefully be this week, got the door to clean up and stain/varnish, a section of wood on the doorframe above the door to clean up and stain, little window to clean up and wood lintel to stain and then it's about done! Apart from the floorboards of course, which are looking increasingly tatty and horrible as the rest of the room is looking cleaner and brighter! Must hire that sander.

Bathroom - tiles now up around the loo and waste pipe boxed in and tiled. Much better :-) Still grouting to be done and skimming of ceiling/cabinet walls and then sizing and painting. Good weather is rumoured to be just around the corner.... can we complete the works in time?!

Took the pooch for a walk (me)/run (him) along the route forestière off the Peguère road this afternoon and was surrounded by cloud for most of the way (1000m). You boys will be pleased to hear he has completely recovered from his ballectomy last week and is behaving as if nothing has happened!! Wonder whether his energy levels will drop in due course .... hmm, I doubt it somehow.
