    Thanks SG,I wasn't sure about the colour at first and nearly changed it but I thought I would wait until I had painted more walls to see how it looked ,I really like it now 😊

    Why oh why didn't I do this painting in the winter 😫😫😫 I was sooooo hot today but I'm pleased with my progress, two walls are now finished and I'm putting things back as I go. The third wall has had its second coat and I would have done the fourth wall but I'm trying not to aggravate my arm so I've left it for another day. I have got Saturday and Sunday off but I'm going to be quite busy so not sure if I will have time for painting. I've got three days off in a row after Monday so will be able to crack on and get the walls finished then, then I can start on the doors and skirting boards. Once that's done I get to start all over again in the hall 😳🥵😀
    I did go and do some weeding in the back garden as well today, I'm trying to work on the inside and outside at the same time if at all possible. Today's outside job was to lightly prune the hedge back so I don't get caught up on it when I'm going up to the washing line, there were quite a lot of brambles too so I cut them down  as well. I also did some more weeding around where the washing line is so that's looking tidier 
    I even got to sit out on the patio with a coffee while I had a break which was nice,I really do need to buy a new parasol though because I get full sun on my patio all day and sometimes it's just too hot 🥵🥵🥵😊

    It's looking really good, a very relaxing colour.

    I think you're wise to wait a bit longer to continue, your arm won't thank you if you push it and you might not get as good a finish as you've already achieved. You seem to have done loads in the garden though! want to come and tackle mine? :)

    The painting is looking good. I daren’t put things back in place on any wall though until id completely finished as I’d splatter paint all over it. I’m impressed 👍 I think the pizza was well deserved. I need a parasol too…got to have some shade 👍
