Top of the afternoon

It didn't quite work as b&w. Doesn't work as colour either, but I think its a little better with some colour. It has to do as I have nothing else. Have had little time for fotograffics the last 3-4 days.
She says 'that wall' needs repairing and painting.
He says that wall is 'f.....d'.
She says then fix it.
He says OK, but it will take some time.
She says only a couple of days.
He laughs.
She swears.
He laughs harder.
Three long days of hard scraping and sanding later he is halfway into removing the ugly old textured coating on 'the wall'.
She says I didn't know it was such a big job.
He grunts.
She says will it be finished tomorrow.
He laughs again and says Monday.
She says but I have plans for Monday. We are going out - as a family.

He knows that by Monday's end he will not only be sick & sorry of back and limb, but also very much thinner and lighter in the wallet, and at least another day of torturous scraping and sanding to follow.
