The view from the bathroom window this morning. These are the hills beyond the town, out past Hundred House, probably the hills around Crinfynydd, which is the highest spot in that direction. There wasn't a great deal of snow and most of it had melted by late afternoon. We had a few wet flakes here, evidenced on the car windscreens.
I have had a very busy day. Popped into town first thing for the paper (and my Homes & Antiques magazine was in too), to post a book off to Sue in Suffolk, and to get special rawlplugs for plasterboard so we could hang pictures on the wall behind the bed in our bedroom.
Then it was compost caddy to be emptied, ditto litter tray, bird feeders to top up back and front etc. Then the kitchen floor needed mopping, and the bathroom was due a clean too. Chores done, I was able to get back to wallpapering, although I had to move half the bedroom furniture several feet away from the wall, and of course, move all the loose stuff from on top of side tables so I could move those.
I managed to get the heavy oak ex-Church fitting "headboard" off the wall myself. Then it was 6 pieces and a sliver of wallpaper to match and cut, wall to paste for each bit, and trim to fit. That is a LOT of going up and downstairs, measuring and marking wallpaper rolls, bending, stretching, being on knees etc. I clocked up over 10,000 steps just with the upstairs and downstairs and round my lady's chamber! BUT it is now ALL done and so I can get on to finishing the corner of the bathroom with paper (as you go in) and start painting the Hot Pink bedroom at long last. I think it will probably end up yellow with a gorgeous yellow wall paper I have seen but first I need to cover the pink with matt white as a base for the new paint.
There we are, final wall done. Sorry the flash didn't go off. I think I shall sleep well tonight!
