Back to it

For the most part we've had a quite idyllic Easter weekend. Lots of time spent together, a couple of fun adventures, very little time spent in the car, beach, parks, ice cream and lots of relaxing.

Then yesterday on Easter Monday which I anyways consider the bonus wildcard day I set to work on our bedroom. I actually started stripping the wallpaper last year but gave up after one wall. It is a large room with several layers of textured wallpaper and woodchip. Yesterday I striped a second wall and made good and began papering. In an odd turn off events I have decided to replace thy ancient anaglypta wallpaper with... Anaglypta wallpaper. But either Stockholm syndrome or some other phenomena, I've started to like it and feel like it rather suits the house after all.  

There are two more walls left to strip-they are the 'easier' walls with no windows or alcoves and only one door. I will need to move some very heavy furniture to get at them which is why I am doing this in phases, but I am optimistic that if I keep up the energy I might get it done by the end of the week. Just as well because the new kitchen is coming in a fortnight and I need to empty that and strip the wallpaper in there as well. 

Now it's back to work after the Easter break. I've got a load of laundry in to wash and one in the dryer, done the washing up and had a pot of coffee. The girls bless them are busy busy and very understanding about being abandoned while I work for half the week. Now I'd better get on and try and remember what it is I do!
