Actually got some painting done! Took the car for the service this morning and they said not sure how long it will be, best go home and we'll call you. So forty minute walk back from Folkestone, then another forty minute walk when they told me it was ready. In the rain. Rigged up an elaborate device to sand the hall ceiling a bit before painting it, a bit. I have not done a proper job at all, just made it look slightly less worse than it did. It needs a proper job, probably a professional, so one for later in the year. I did the same on another ceiling where there had been an old leak and that looks ok. I did our bathroom again too, all the bits that now needed painting again because of the repairs to the new shower. The paint is not sticking so well at the edges, where the glue from the aquaboard has spilled out slightly, but it's ok, mostly you wouldn't notice. I have done some website updates, and listened to music on the new Sonos setup, and listened to a podcast about Jack The Ripper, so not a completely wasted day. Oh, and designed a logo for a project at work, that will be a nice treat for everyone.
Light rain and light winds, 6 - 7℃.
