Revolutionary Rants

Mum and I spent most of yesterday going round Focus (evil capitalist DIY shop) and Homebase and B&Q (also evil capitalist DIY shops) getting paint, light fittings and other odds and ends for the house.  In the time between 15:00 and 18:00 we made a pretty good start on the sitting room, getting almost all of it painted. It is in a colour called “cookie dough”, which is a lighter brown, and looks brilliant. The whole room looks so warm now, I kept imagining the ‘rents settled in there cosy and warm over the winter – not to mention a lovely Christmas day!

Today: just about to head out to help sort out the caravan, which is being sold back to the people who sold it to us. We will miss it, but we hardly seem to get up there now we are moved, and as the other main users were Simon and family it doesn’t get much use in general now. It is so tempting to be lazy at the weekends, sadly…

Also, we are hoping to get going with the Christmas cakes. I am currently stewing some apples to this end. Better sort them out as we need to head out…
