A whirlwind strikes

The whirlwind has arrived. The decorator arrived promptly at 9.30am - she doesn't believe in making her customers get up too early. She'd done for the day by 1pm. A short day you may say. In that time she's stripped off the old paper, prepared the woodwork, put the first coat of matt on the ceiling, undercoated the the door frames, skirtings etc, undercoated & glossed the dado rail. She couldn't do more until the paint dried. The kitchen already looks considerably brighter for her effort. A real whirlwind!

We had been expecting to have to eat out every day as I didn't feel I could leave prepared meals around & it would be too late to get started by the time she finished. As it turned out, we had plenty of time to make a simple prawn curry & eat at home.

I think we've finally found our decorator. No more Uncle Podgers or other disaster zones of previous experiences. And she doesn't even cost the earth.
