Door II

i’d like to say that I’ve finished plastering in the house, but sadly that’s not the case.

I have, however, finished plastering the landing.

Been to church again today.

All signs of the old doorway have now gone.

PVA is pretty amazing stuff, you know. It’s cheaper than wood glue, although it’s essentially the same thing, and it’s a great sealant.

After a short break from decorating, old and new walls are sealed and ready for plastering.

We live on a big hill. Today we walked down to the Schooner. After a beer there, we walked across the river to the Tyne bar.

And then along the (other) river to the Cluny.

Where we had decent food.

And, now, we’re in the Cumberland Arms. Or, rather, outside it. Good music on a Sunday afternoon.

Most of these places also involved hills.

We’ve just been to church. Kindof.

On a cocktail … Well, I was pretty impressed with Elbow’s headline slot at the first big night of the mouth of the Tyne festival.

Definitely a good performance. A nice atmosphere too.

A random conversation with a man who was also at the other week’s secret Park stage at Glastonbury happened too.

Happy.

Today has, so far, been spent in a post decorating clean-up and some gardening.

A small tree and a bush have been removed today, in advance of next summer’s project.

The garden, which is small, now looks bigger.

And, after demolishing the barbeque (which hasn’t been used in many years), I shall have enough space for my experiment in cob.
