Busy Painting
i am in the middle of re-decorating my lounge this weekend. i broke the back of the painting last night and didn’t finish until 01:30 this morning. but it has meant that there are just tidying up jobs to do today. i thought the easiest bit would be to replace a bit of skirting board …
