2nd November Friday
Woke up from a deep sleep, the sun shone through the window, a hard frost on the lawn, and silence, yep back in Sleepy Barrington.
I wanted a short rest before I make the final thrust and finish the cottage, and turn it into a home again.
I drove into ilminster to get some paint mixed and a few supplies. I enjoy the experience of watching the paint man work. He is an expert in his field, and could easily go on Mastermind with paint mixing as his specialised subject.
He bombards you with questions, “Matt, satin or eggshell, kitchen, or bathroom, one litre, or two and a half” once all that is answered the process begins. After being shaken not stirred, I leave with my cans, double sealed, ( ” Well better be safe than sorry”)
It was a little strange driving again after two months, but it was great to hear the Jag roar again.
My mind hadn’t caught up with the hundreds thought threads that is stored in my small grey sponge, when that gets untangled, I will have restless nights until everything is done.
Another Lifetime to go
