Well, my life is so boring, I have had nothing to post about. We couldn't continue with the decorating, as I wasn't feeling too good. I thought I might be getting tonsillitis again, it wasn't, it was an infected gum. But that's better now, so we will carry on with the decorating. In fact, we have done almost all of the back half of the living room now. There is just my computer corner to do. But that involves disconnecting everything, moving everything of my shelves, taking the shelves down, moving my computer cupboard out of the alcove, taking everything off the walls, stripping the last of the hideous stripy paper from the walls, filling all the holes and stuff. Then sanding and repainting the walls. Not much there is there?
Okay. The first pic shows the back wall, where the window is, and the side wall. Please forgive the mess. We haven't got round to putting everything away yet. But one of my favourite items I own is on view here. The black car you can see is a hackney carriage, known as a black cab, and is the type of taxi you would see in London, and many other cities in England. I used to drive one of those (not in London, but in Stoke) and I love them. The one you see is actually a lamp.
Okay, next pic is of the opposite side wall. The one behind me when I am sitting at my computer.
The painting on the wall on the left was done by Clives brother Keith, and is of the town where their father lived. We actually have two paintings by Keith the other one, which would normally sit on the side wall in the first picture, is of a reservoir near to where we used to live in Stoke. I will put a pic of that up when we put everything back on the walls.
But here is a closer view of the pic of Greenfield. Keith paints in a very Lowryesque way when it comes to views of towns and villages. I couldn't find a position where there wasn't a reflection on the pic. Oh well.
Okay. So, the last pic is of my computer corner, which is always in a mess. I know where things are all the time, but if I tidy up I lose things!! In this pic you can see the awful stripy paper. Everything is dusty because we had just been sanding down the side wall next to the computer desk ready to paint it. You can also see why we left this corner to last. It is so full of stuff its going to take forever just to empty the corner!! You can also see into the froont half of the living room. The colours all go so well. It is much more relaxing in here now. I think we made a good choice on the colours. I'm happy with how well its gone so far.
Of course, the other good news for me was that Tony won on Sunday! WHOOHOOOOOOOOOO. Yes, I am a happy girl over that. He needed that win. Not just for the points, but for his own self-confidence. He needed to know he could win again, after the lousy few weeks he's had lately. Tony is well on his way to a third championship if he carries on this way. I cant help it. I support my boy!!!
Fair day and be well.
