Well today I got up about 8.45 and painted the walls in the porch. They're going to need another coat, but it looks better already. Rosie nods. Excellent. Now she's grinning - bonus.

We drove off in the Panda Pops about 12 and went to Stroud. We made it. Rosie said they had a great Oxfam. Rosie says Oxfam's great, and who am I to argue? We had lunch in a nice cheap and tacky cafe which was quite good. It was cool inside (it's hot today).

I'm about to do some more wall paper stripping, but not too much, I don't want to over-achieve. Bye for now.
