Bathroom 2

Plasterboard replaced (on this end of the bathroom anyway) shower tray in position.

According to my memory of such things, since around about 1973 I have lived in homes have been blessed with coloured bathroom suites.

In chronological order: pale blue, avocado, pale blue, avocado, burgundy (Oh wow, that was a doozy but at least it broke the blue/green cycle.), avocado, burgundy... and most recently what I believe is called 'Champagne'. There may have been a few other hues in there but these are the highlights. I have longed for my simple childhood bathroom days of white loos and baths. In the next couple of months I might actually get my wish granted.

It has to be pointed out that this is only happening at a point where the fittings were faulty in more than just appearance - a hole in the shower tray, a crack in the sink and the bath... well, we wont mention that. I'm not sure whether our instinct not to replace things until they actually fall to bits is a virtue or just madness but it certainly accounts for the general ramshackleness of our household.

I might even buy one of those really attractive dolly loo paper covers to celebrate. (NB in case anyone offers to send me one, please don't. I'm joking. Very scary items!)
