So.  I am toying with the idea of getting my bedroom painted.
It is currently blue on the top & pink under the dado rail.
I think I may well have another blue on the top but I would welcome suggestions.
The carpet is purple & wont be replaced.
Bring on your suggestions

Oh blooming ‘eck now you’re asking.  Just one shade of blue both sides of the dado rail? Maybe pale grey would go with the purple carpet? 🤔

I should have said that a lot of the rest of the house is grey so dont really want more grey.

I love pale greys beanie but can understand you don't want it everywhere. A pale lilac would go well with a purple carpet.

I'm sorry to hear you've been in the wars again and hope your face is healing. So glad you've had your first jab. Youngest had hers last Saturday. Mine had to be cancelled twice as I've been flaring badly. Had a call from the Drs today to say they'll phone next week to see if I'm ok to have it then.

I've had sleepless nights over th last few weeks. I was trying to find if there was any sign of a new Rebus book online and came across a tweet from Ian Rankin on International Angelman day supporting the need to vaccinate those with learning disabilities in care homes.. I haven't folowed his twitter feed for a while and was surprised he's now 65 and Kit is 26. Where do the years go?

I trawled back through a few months and there were lovely pics of Edinburgh in the snow including a snow angel. Greyfriars kirk , the Oxford bar and the one place I willnever walk though again The Cowgate.

There's a lovely pic of a very smiley Kit who they managed to bring home for Christmas day.

I thought of you and wondered if you ever read the Laidlaw books by William McLivanny. Ian is due to hand his book from the uncompleted McLivanny book about Laidlaws early days to the publishers. I never knew he based Rebus on Laidlaw.

I've ordered the first in the trilogy for youngest to try and keep her going until the next and probably last Rebus. Obviously. Laidlaw is set in Glasgow in the 70s. She knows Glasgow quite well but is more familiar with Edinburgh so I wonder if you've read them and what you thought.of them.

Any progress on the car? Hopefully when you and mum have had the second jab things should improve for you both. As long as they take lifting lockdown in a better way than before and whatever BJ says I think Wee Nicola will take things steady .

Take care love

Aubergine (brinjal if you were looking at Farrow and Ball) or plum goes well with purple and darker blue or turquoise. It depends on shades really - I rather like cream too but I thought these options were rather tasteful
