Up with the Gods
Another day of sunshine, we are to get another horse!!! He arrives next Sunday so that will give us 8 to exercise so lots of riding in the evenings to come. Have worked out some routes that will take us from café/bar to café/bar and return. You get the general idea by now.
Until then I am at the moment back to perching on planks of wood placed across beams 25' in the air so that I can finish painting the ceiling above the stairs in a lovely crisp clean white. Having now finished that part it is time to seal the stone wall with a mix of linseed oil and turpentine.....smelly! After that it is painting of walls, the colour of course is going to be Magnolia!!!! I just sort of knew that that would be the colour, I did proffer an argument against and suggest alternative colours but to no avail. Perhaps my choice of colours is slighty off the wall as I happen to be a little colour blind! The choices I thought were ok met with a definite NO WAY from luscious but that's the way it is so I had better go and prepare the walls ready for the magnolia onslaught. Perhaps if I mix it with a different shade she wouldn't notice? I'm not that brave.........or stupid!!! toodle pip

I love horses!! Are you planning to give rides to tourists or something like that?

After all that riding you may be too sore for work. I do hope you're wearing your horsey 'Thelwell' hard hat while balancing precariously on those planks 25' above the stone floor?
