Yet Another Rainy Day

Which is why there has not been a longer form post from me this week.

There is something quite satisfying about decorating, starting off with a space that is clearly tired and in need of some desperate refreshment and finishing up with a newly painted room that is bright and fresh.

Is it weird to feel kind of proud that it is something I have achieved? My job is a sedentary office based one and it is not as though I feel much of a sense of achievement after writing yet another email. But to have put in some physical exertion to decorate my home and see it through to completion feels to me like an accomplishment.

Given that I have spent all my time this week listening to the coverage of the test match while I feel clearly too proud of myself for slapping a bit of paint on the wall, there has been no space in my brain for writing anything else this week. But usual service will resume shortly, just as soon as all of the detritus from my slightly chaotic decorating style has all been cleared up.
