Weather & Painting

Friday 28th September

Forecast thunderstorms coming from an ominous depression off the coast of Africa moving north. Weather already cloudy and thunderclouds massing over the mountains. I felt under pressure to at least paint all the patches to seal the wall before the rain came.

Popped down to see Antonio and low and behold, he was there …he’s been on his holidays apparently. Anyway he’s coming at 11.15 on Monday to measure up the banister. Also popped in to see Brenda in the Second Hand shop and chatted briefly, as she was busy with quite a few customers.

Home to finish painting the wall as had brightened up. However, it became a never ending process, the roller laden with white paint kept on pulling off more loose old paint, exposing bare concrete that needed to be cauchoed, so took another couple of hours to get it done as best as I could…not perfect, but its not even our wall !!
