Up at 8 this morning, then online with coffee and smokes, i completed the blog then we had a little look at Adelaide Now and some property pages then we made a start. I had decided to try to cover the ugly ceiling in the hall with some polystyrene roll so headed off to St.Pol to pick up some stuff, ant started work on the cutting in in the bedrooms. I bought the rolls and some neoprene glue then headed home, by the time i had stuck a couple of the old polystyrene tiles back to the ceiling i realized the glue was not the best solution as it was burning the tiles, so i headed back out, to Hesdin this time, and bought the stuff i was supposed to get to stick the stuff on.
When i returned i made a start, and with ants help, a lot of sweat and a lot of hard work, got the ceiling covered, it looked a bit tatty in places so i decided to get some coving to cover the tatty edges, another trip out. While i was out ant had finished both bedrooms and dressed one of them, so we now have a nice space to sleep. I spent another hour applying coving to the ceilings then got really frustrated with it and ant decreed it was time to give it a break, it was five in the afternoon. We had a short rest upstairs and i watched All About Eve while ant napped on and off. When we came down we decided we didn't want the fish i had defrosted so we hightailed it out to the Frite van at Le Parq and got some fast food.
We had a nice easy evening in front of the TV, i had a couple of gin and tonics, and at the end of the evening we watched Almadovar's Volver, which was good. Then off to bed for another well deserved sleep. Ceiling looks much better than it did, it needs a coat of paint or two and i need to finish the coving but it is now a nice clean white rather than nicotine yellow.
