Getting plastered

Our plasterer came in today to skim the dining room after much of the old plaster fell off while I was stripping the wallpaper. Here is Michael at work by the window.

He did a wonderful job, giving a superb finish which I will now be able to paint directly (saving me the effort of lining the walls with paper). It just needs a few days to dry, so I will find other things to occupy myself with in the meantime.
