Here's the latest, all you impatient people… what slave drivers!! (Just kidding.) I had a shorter work day today so I got a head start on the bathroom walls. (See the "before" shot in my last entry.) Thanks to one of the many home improvement TV personalities, my mother found out it's possible to paint tile, as long as it's not in an area exposed to water. All you need is the right primer, and here's how it looks. Thanks, Mom.

Hmm, said Richard when he got home. White doesn't look bad in here. But that's only primer, it's temporary. The tile will remain white though, with a coat of glossier paint, perhaps tomorrow. I cleaned up early tonight once the priming was done, and Richard made a nice dinner, taking the night off. We both need a rest!

It's Tuesday, and I've got half a day tomorrow and all day Friday to paint, so there could be new pictures by Friday night. Maybe. That shot of me painting the corners in the bottom cupboards ought to be enough entertainment for the week. (Just a word of caution – this blog is personal, for us to keep in touch with our friends, please don't pass it along to just anybody, thanks.) I crack open the first can of coloured paint tomorrow afternoon, and I'm a bit scared… might poll you all on how it looks afterward. Let's hope it works out. At least walls are a lot faster to paint than scummy old cupboards!
