Evening Gary - today was a good day. 100 mile ride, didn't get frostbite anywhere, bike wasn't even dirty when I got home. That's not bad for January.

Morning org. What's everyone up to this weekend?

Hi Gary - doing a bit of shopping in advance of a 2-day duty visit to the MiL to take her to a medical appt. Hopefully it will dry up enough this morning so I can get a quick spin out this afternoon.

The silver lining of staying with the MiL is that our daughter is working nearby so we're meeting up with her too.

What are you up to?

I think I have finally found a painter not only has he given me a quote but he will work with me on dates. My bedroom furniture (fitted wardrobes/vanity unit/bedside cabinets) are being resprayed Mar25th - Apr11th and I wanted the bedroom redecorated in that time.

Since I'm impatient and he said he'll reduce the quote if I do some of the work I've started stripping wallpaper.

Then I remembered that the last wallpaper I stripped required the wall to be patched which required it to be sanded and I had to bodge a connection between my sander and the vacuum. On to ebay to order some hose and an adaptor...

Just taken Mabel for a few miles of walking. Getting ready to go and work at a Repair Cafe in Oswestry now.

I have the B&Q equivalent which seems to work well. Removing the ceiling paper should be pushing the fun to a whole new level.

Our local Co-op has dark chocolate Tunnocks caramel wafers and Mackies Scottish ice cream, neither of which I'd seen before so felt obliged to buy.
