Today I painted another
of the doors in my room, including the architrave and I feel quite
proud of myself.
My son is to paint the
walls and ceiling next week and I would like to have the woodwork
done before he begins. I did the two metal windows yesterday and so I
still have two door sides a wooden window, a stone mantelpiece and
the skirting board. I am not sure if a shall be able to do the last
as the amount of bending required will probably be beyond my
powers,still ,we shall see.
I have chosen a pretty
cream colour,no feature walls for me,my patchwork quilts, curtains
and cushions provide more than enough colour for a small room. I am
to be given a beautiful patchwork quilt for Mothers Day, a joint gift
from the boys and so it would be lovely if my room were newly
decorated for the occasion.
I recently picked up
some lovely dusty pink curtains with tie backs and matching cushion
covers very cheaply so the new look will be complete.
Tonight I cooked the
cheats steaks, the recipe for which I posted a couple of days ago,
this time I added a few finely chopped sun dried tomatoes to the
meat, the boys and I really tucked in. The gravy is very good and
with mashed potato is is perfect.
We finished our meal
with a slice each of lemon drizzle cake,now the cake tin is empty
again which means a baking day very soon.
My knee is very painful
today,I am in the middle of a change in my medication and the pain
has been much less easy to ignore since the second week of the
change. I am hopeful that things will settle down again soon as it
often takes a while for a new drug to begin to take effect.
With all my chores done
I shall soon be off to my bed with a hot drink and hopefully one of
the cats,if, that is either one decides to honour me with her
presence.
