ON THE LIST

 

I have NO gaps in my market stock, so there's really no need to do any sewing this week.

BUGGER.

But, I do have a list of things to get done today.

1. Washing.

2. Dust and polish.

3.  Spray weed killer on Begonia plants in the rockery, (the bastards are trying to come back).

4.  Water indoor plants.

5.  Buy Valspar paint.

WHY BUY PAINT?

Cos I'm not happy with the paint we used to paint the ENTIRE interior of the house.

It was called a 'Black-White', and came highly recommended by the 'professionals'.

It's UTTER SHIT.  Be warned.

ABOVE:  If you scrap the wall, the mark left is BLACK!  On a white wall that just sucks.  WHY would they produce a paint that looks white, but it leaves a black mark when scraped or knocked?   CRAZY.

So, I'm going to slowly re-paint all the high traffic areas with a pure white Valspar paint.

It will probably take me ages, but I don't care.  I want it done.

I'll start with the hallway I think, then move on to the family room/dining room and lounge.

The bedrooms can stay the way they are - for now.

Has anyone else used a similar Black-White paint and been disappointed? 

ABOVE:  I used a PINK Bath Bomb last night.  It was go lovely... silky and soft in the water and on me skin.  

The bath was sooooo lovely.  I got out feeling all relaxed and happy again.  Definitely recommend a bath to get that feel good vibe.

Wine would have helped, but I forgot it.  I played music on my Spotify though.

MUST REMEMBER A GLASS OF WINE NEXT TIME, let's take it up a level shall we?  lol
 

And that's about all I have for now.

CATCH YA LATER...

12.19 pm:  Just finished all the jobs inside.  Found a couple more to do as well.

Now I have a headache.

Did WORDLE... that was a pain in the arse, but I got it in 4 finally.

I'm not going out to get paint right now.  I might just paint over the marks with the existing paint in the interim.  I looked at how much I would need to repaint and thought, YEAH NAH, not worth the effort.  Or cost.

Must be getting lazy eh?

I am going to make some more runners.

I can build up quite a good 'back up stash' over the next few months, in readiness for the summer markets in Oct/Nov and December.

I'm going to book us into two really big markets this coming summer, the Kinloch (done), and Pirongia.  Both are markets we have not done before and are told they are really good.

So, make stock while the sun doesn't shine and all that shit.

I think we will be covering our pool this coming weekend, the weather has certainly turned and we won't be swimming again this season.

I've packed up the drying rack in the sun room, and put away all the swimming stuff.  Sad, but oh well... ya can't change the weather.

9.42 pm:  not done much else this evening but watch TV and some stuff on me laptop.  Dinner was sausages, salad and kumera rissoles.

Had too much, feel sick ... I'll never learn.
