The walls are blue and now the cupboards are too, so all sides of our bedroom are 'very' blue! She went to B&Q yesterday afternoon upon the advice of dearest Leigh and bought several tarpaulins in two sizes. Brick renovation work = dusty conditions and the wisest thing to do is cover everything in plastic or dustsheets.
But each dust-sheet costs a lot of money honey! And can only be used as dustsheets, whereas these tarpaulins can, or rather, will come in use at the allotments as well. She did one side of the room to see if she needed different sizes but no, what she bought will do the job.
It was fascinating, I couldn't think why she was sealing the doors with black plastic, so I watched from the top of a cupboard, but when she started working on the area around my night-house.. aga cage in which I sleep.. I thought I'd better get closer and what could be closer than being on her head!
We must have looked very peculiar - funny peculiar & funny haha - her up the step-ladder with a mouthful of small nails and a hammer in her hand with me perched on top of her head. She'd already done the doors with plastic attached to the doors with masking tape and now was hanging these huge tarpaulins from the top of the cupboards. The thought of brick dust in your linen cupboard is not a happy thought, is it?
So we are ready.. the other cupboards need to be done but we have the right materials with which to do the job of covering the bedside bookcases, the mattress, the massive bookshelf, her desk and the set of nine wall mounted drawers.. our bedroom was the original kitchen of the house and these huge drawers date from that era.
A contractor is coming next Wednesday with the structural surveyor to quote for the work, we have no idea when they propose to start it but she'll email the landlord her medical appointments in May with the suggestion that work should start in June.
As it is just past 10.00 of the morning clock, we're now going to start our day.. but before we go.. do you know this extraordinary true fact.. you all know how she loves pieces of 'useful' information.
That Dolphins sleep with one eye open.
