By the end of day 2

We have an issue with the paint arriving in time as the prep is now nearly done.

The decorator, he’s such a nice man. He’s one of a triplet and it’s really interesting talking to him. And he’s so neat and tidy and courteous.

My neighbour came round. I knew instantly why he was calling because he was carrying dog treats and dog food. His beloved old brown lab Maisy died last week. He lives alone so I’m just so sad for him.

Elbows has been helping a lady move flat, away from an abusive landlord. But this lady is a hoarder and he returned yesterday with our big car full to the brim of black sacks of rubbish so today included a trip to the dump. The recycling centre is so brilliantly run. I’ve booked to go again tomorrow! :-)
