When your dreams turn to dust, vacuum!

What a dusty day!  Loads of work done today.  All the sanding done of the walls, skirting boards and dado rails.  The walls very old and not easy to paint.  So its a full on job to sand them down we had loads of  problems in the previous bedroom with the painting.  The amount of dust this created was amazing.  The other jobs we did were making good jobs fixing sockets, sorting out radiators, fixing window bits, filling bits etc.  I am not exactly sure about the other bits as I just did the sanding all day long.

We did get a coffee break down the cafe but fortunately the wind had picked up and although it was sunny its was very chilly so we didn't feel too bad about being indoors.  The main thing problem today was the dust and as there is no door on that room at the moment it crept round the rest of the house.  G hated it and the messiness of it all made him feel a bit stressy.  I hated breathing it in as it was giving me a sore throat.  As G has appeared to have lost all the safety masks I have bought him I had to makeshift my own out of an old towel.

Makeshift face mask to protect against the dust.

We were happy to down tools at the end of the night, we skipped the exercise as I felt too tired and were straight in the hot tub with a G&T.  We also made a last minute dash to the supermarket to cook another Jamie O 30 minute meal.  The meal was Chicken in a mustard leek sauce, accompanied by quick dauphinoise potatoes and greens and followed by a Black Forest Affogato .  We loved it all except for the desert which we thought was pants!  The quick dauphinoise potatoes would have been slightly quicker if I had remembered to put the oven on.  We were crashed in bed very early ..definitely a tiring but very productive weekend and we are pleased with what we achieved.

Jamie O Mustard Chicken mmmmmm!
