I'LL HAVE TO PRACTICE BEFORE I START ON THE FRESCOES

Yesterday, my first day home alone without Paul since September last year, I decided to paint the living room. And it has become apparent that I am not a natural decorator.

My sister, who knows about these things, says that my only problem is lack of experience and skill will come with time. To be fair, I wasn't bad when taking instruction from my Mum in the way of DIY as a youngling. And Kathleen may only know about these things because she redecorates more often than I drink alcohol. 

With any luck, one day I'll be like Da Vinci in more than being able to write backwards....
