Long Time in the Making

I suppose that sums up all our projects. The difficulty is we either can't remember what we originally planned or we have changed our minds. Whatever, the result is the same, we end up with materials we bought originally that are now surplus to requirements. In the case of the third bedroom it is three rolls of textured bamboo wallpaper and a bathroom floor's worth of tiles. So far!! Any offers?

John is progressing in the bedroom although a long way from finishing. Nevertheless yesterday we went in search of flooring (you know me, it has to be exactly the right shade, which is inevitably twice the price!). There is nothing better than a good bit of retail therapy to lift the winter blues, so I got really into the spirit of things and bought bedding as well. We haven't got any beds but that is a minor detail.

Changing our minds always causes more work. We have just decided to move the position of the electric towel rail yet again. This is the third time, and it is back to where it was originally. Fortunately 'im indoors does not complain ... can you imagine what a bone fide electrician would say.

John is currently covering the plasterboard with "toile de verre" a sort of fibre glass lining paper which we have used in much of the house. There is talk of me painting it next week. I thought I was just the gardener these days.
