A decorating day, started quite early with everything covered up although it took a while as there was another bunch of DVD orders on the net overnight but today it's been quiet on that front. We started the decorating filling in various cracks with polyfilla and then started with the undercoat of matt white which is covering the present blue and yellow paint. I also did half the ceiling by roller, this worked better at getting the coverage on the walls so will finish off tomorrow also using the roller although it does generate a bit of mess so essential everything remains covered throughout the process.

We had to pack in mid afternoon as we had a concert at Clonter Opera, a really pleasant afternoon of John Locke inspired songs with Robin Humphreys at the piano. It was really lovely to be transported back over the years to the 30-50's and a change from opera to the popular songs of a bygone era many get so few outings these times. Anyway when we got back a big clean up so we can sit in the lounge and watch tv tonight. We resume painting tomorrow morning. It's been windy and wet here today, little better tomorrow so not a problem doing the decorating. Photos this evening from Cambridge and Huntingdon  yesterday. Just paused for a bacon buttie, too much cream tea for anything more! Just burning the Cambridge DVD, it looks really good.
