Tyred

Between last night and mid afternoon today, we put everything back into the front room, including around 400 books.

I am such a familiar face at Brent recycling and Oxfam they think I'm a member of staff.

Clearing the bedroom didn't take as long as the front room, however it's still pretty gruelling.

Decorating is like child birth, if you knew how difficult and disruptive it would be you wouldn't start. You've left it just long enough since the last bout that you had forgotten how hard it is. But it's always worth it in the end.

Stage 2 should be finished by Friday.
