I’m painting the hallway bright yellow. Together with the new lights the corridor looks and feels much bigger. The actual painting is fun, but prepping the walls, filling holes and repairing blemishes is a tedious process and took way more time than I like.
After this I only have to do the living and dining room, then the house is totally painted, for the first time since Alison moved here about 13 years ago. The paint that is on the walls now is put there by her predecessors and only one, not completely covering, coat in an ugly brown. A job long overdue.
But before I start that I first want to built some bookcases, so my books can leave the boxes I’ve put them in, more than 3 years ago.

Painting
One of the many uses of a chihuahua.
