The Painter

The builders were not here today, as they all had to be doing other jobs; they will be back on Monday. Next week, the builders should be finished with all the upstairs plastering etc., inside and out and then we can get on with the decorating which will take a while.
 
A whole day without any interruptions and a day when Dougal and Florence could go out, without getting in anyone’s way. So, where has Florence been for much of the day? Laying in the sunshine, which was streaming through the door from the balcony into the North bedroom. Dougal could not believe his luck and has been in and out more times than I can remember. He has been investigating various things including the three doors to the conservatory, which have been open all day to allow the plaster to dry a little quicker. He is now exhausted and is fast asleep on our bed.
 
I have been doing some tidying and cleaning today and Bill has been putting ‘primer’ on some of the windows and doors. I took today’s picture from the South end of the balcony, looking North.
