    The very old masking tape, which I thought might be a bit of a nightmare to take off, peeled off without too much trouble on the bits where I'd managed to do two coats yesterday.  Very relieved.  I finished both rolls of it which have been hanging around for at least 20 years if not longer so that's a bit of decluttering achieved.  I started the roll of frogtape that's been around for a very, very long time which is lovely stuff to work with so if that's ever used up and I need more of either I'm going to go with the froggie stuff.  I've got dental and optician appointments this afternoon so I'm hoping to get at least one coat on the reverse sides before I have to go out.
    It's raining and will be for the rest of the day so dog walking will be a soggy affair.  We need the rain so badly I'm just relieved it's happening, and I remembered to fill up all the watering cans from the waterbutt last night so that'll stand us in good stead over the next few days.  And I can now reseed some of the bald patches on the grass now that the grounds had a good soaking and then cover them with fleece so the pigeons don't nick all the seeds but the light can get through.
    Better is good enough.
