Domestic improvements

We've made some more progress today: 
- while I scrubbed the back yard and cut back the overgrown plants, A started painting the bathroom.  It was trying to rain while I was outside but it still felt good to spend some time outdoors.
- I added a 2nd coat of paint in the bathroom while he made tea this evening; the 3rd coat will go on tomorrow and the previous blue shade will be only a memory.
- I've finished A's first knitted slipper, which meant ripping back a few rows to get the size closer to his foot.  It's a bit wide at the toes but good enough.  Now to make its pair... 

Saturday jobs and relaxing

1. A very slow start to the day... and our only chance for some time. It felt good to take it easy and stay indoors on a stormy day (even if I was reading a work-related book for some of the time). We popped out at teatime, but not for too long...

2. I spent a short while filling some of the holes in the wall plaster in the bedroom, so it's almost ready to paper now. Just some sanding needed first - perhaps I'll get round to it next weekend. That's another baby-step taken anyway...

3. I've finally seen the last episode of Sherlock. Even after the spoiler on the radio yesterday I don't know how the final twist was done. Just have to wait for series 3 I suppose.
