Painting the Lounge

I Spent most of the morning waiting for the painter to arrive he finally turned up at 11.00am and set about painting the lounge area, not wanting to leave the painter alone we waited for him to finish. Four hours later the lounge was complete with two coats of magnolia, at this point Cathy turned up as she had just received a phone call to say her house was also getting painted, I had hoped the paint would be left so I could complete the kitchen. I managed to give her a quick tour of the house before she headed of home with the painter and Allu the VSO driver.

We took Abigail and Bradley out for a well deserved walk passing the local ghetto where the palm wine tappers congregate and towards the local vegetable plots. On route we saw some grasshoppers and a red beetle with a velvety furry back, as well as the usual lizard darting for the undergrowth. On arriving at the beach Midnight the lifeguard was very pleased to see Paul, and asked him to go fishing with him sometime saying he had caught two red snapper over by the rocks this morning. We headed back as the clouds overhead were looking pretty dark and I had put out the washing which didn’t dry from yesterday. We arrived back in time before the rain came and set to sweeping and mopping the lounge before putting the furniture back into place it looks much better we just need some things to go on the walls. After dinner we sat down to watch Mama Mia, me and Abi both singing along.
