A gallon of cream

Gosh, what a day great it has been! Dave and I went to the building suppliers this morning and bought the wood so that the partition wall can be erected this week (by the building fairies). We also bought a gallon of magnolia paint, rollers, brushes etc (for the decorating fairy) and a new heavy duty door lock.

Back at the new unit, Dave fitted the new lock whilst I filled all the holes in the walls of the office and main room, that were left when the previous occupant removed lots of shelving and fitments. Once the filler had dried I popped a couple of coats of magnolia paint onto the office walls and touched up the paintwork in the main room.

Whilst I was painting the office, Dave took out an old partition wall that we don't want in the shop ~ actually the wall was in the position that the internal entrance to the shop will be (so really, really in the way!).

All this has, of course, been fitted around our usual day's work, so no wonder I feel tired this evening. Now I realise that it may be other people's idea of torture, but I am going to reward myself with an evening of mindless telly watching, starting with X Factor....which is Dave's cue to exit the drawing room and find something (anything) else to do.

George left me a lovely comment yesterday, so in answer to his query ~ Not only more tea than is strictly healthy for me, but also at least 2 litres of water a day too. Yes, the visits are frequent, but one doesn't like to mention them in case readers are offended (is there a loo etiquette book?).

That said, it must be nearly time for a fresh brew!
