So Saturday started off fairly slowly, I wasn’t in any hurry and the weather was bloody miserable. Put one coat of paint on the door, walked the dog and then headed out. Had a couple of pick-ups to do and then ventured into town. Bought one birthday card and failed completely on all other purchases. Came back and did the accounts. Then headed out to the pub for a friends 50th birthday. Somehow I ended up there until about 1AM, good night anyway.

Woke up this morning at 7AM, relaxed a bit and read a book, then fed the hordes. Started the next coat of paint at 8AM, busy day planned. It mainly involved painting door and fire place. Touching up a few bits as well. Fireplace needed five coats of paint, door four. All finished now. All that’s left is a bit of wiring and a serious amount of cleaning. Quite happy how it’s all turned out though. Had a bath. Now I’m going to sit down and eat and watch the final of the Apprentice. I was going to wrap the Christmas presents, but I have a feeling that’s not going to happen.
