    That’s gorgeous OBL. We have quite a few pots of tester paints already which we use on the railway things. I’m going to see what colours we have. Pink and purple are the requested colours 😂😂
    Thanks 😊I have painted the book shelves in the office/ library a lilac colour and they look lovely, pink and purple will look great 😊 all this talk of dolls houses is inspiring me to do some more to mine 😀

    Go for it OBL. Will have to inspire each other from a distance 👍
    Today I am meeting a lovely lady I used to work with in a previous job and going for a walk and cuppa at my local beauty spot and we will have a cuppa too 👍 
    When I come back I am going to do a bit of pottering in the garden and trim back a couple of little plants. It’s a bit of a tradition. My Mum always pruned her roses on St Patrick’s day so that St Patrick would shine down on them 😉 It seems a good tradition to carry on with as it’s mid March and a date to remember. And all thanks to St Patrick when they flower. My dad always took a days holiday on St Pats day and used to ‘wet the shamrock’ ☘️ With an Irish whiskey - just the 1 mind 😁

    I’ve had a lovely walk with my friend. It’s funny how you can just pick up the thread with some people as if it was yesterday you saw them, it’s been about 18 months since we last met. We’ve put the world to rights.  She only live a couple of minute drive from here but had never been to the place we went this morning. She walks her sons dog a lot so we’ve said we will meet again soon and take the dog with us 😁
    I’m just having my dinner then going into the garden for a little while 👍in the sunshine 🌞

    Oooohhhhhh......not having much luck here today - pressed send by mistake 😂😂😂😂 technophobe moment....or senior moment 😂😂😂😂😂 not sure which.😂😂😂😂
    I've been in touch with the builder who was doing the pointing......weather permitting he is coming back on Friday to finish the job. He’s sending the plasterer out on either Friday or Monday to sort the bay window ceiling in my bedroom where I’d had the leak sorted last summer. If they don’t show I’m going to get somebody else as I’m getting mightily fed up and want it finishing NOW. Then get painter friend back to wallop it all white.....and maybe the hall and staircase done too.
