Warming Up

It has been very warm, humid and by the time I was on my way home, very wet. The black cloud seemed to follow me home so I gave up my plan to do a little garden work. The morning saw 2 sets of doors and frames washed, sandpapered and filled. Just the toilet door and the doors into the sitting room to prepare and then I can get stuck into the satisfying job of painting. I had the tv on in the kitchen and today's property show featured a kitchen with exactly the same wooden cupboards as are in our kitchen. They were described as 'tired' and by the end of the program had been replaced with a more modern kitchen. Apart from being a little old I don't think they look that bad. Our whole place has been looking rather battered, the result of bringing up 3 boys and having numerous pets. I haven't minded the worn farmhouse look and I wasn't going to expend energy on trying to keep the place pristine as that would only have led to rows and stress. But now we hope to sell in a few years time and I am only working part-time I can get the place to a much better standard while dreaming about a new home for the future.
