Seated on the Throne

The last few days have been full of exercise and I'm not complaining.  The newest Hobbler is working through the C25K course and has reached Week 9 so three of us joined her early this morning for a half hour's run then it was home for a quick shower before out for a walk and catch up around St Ives with friend Helen.

After lunch there was no avoiding a return to the upstairs loo to continue stripping off the wallpaper in preparation for the decorators coming in.  Living in an old house means that whenever we do anything like this we are prepared to uncover more problems and certainly the back wall will need skimming before it can be painted.  I have done most of the painting in the past but I am now beyond hanging over the stairwell on a step ladder so best to leave it to the experts.

By the end of the afternoon the wallpaper was off and I made a start on washing down the walls, horrible job and I soon gave up on it for today.
