I hate painting!!

A wet day so thought I had better get out the paint brush & finish off all the painting jobs that needing doing.
All the paintwork needed another coat of paint, architraves mostly & of course two more coats on the new airing cupboard.
It’s taken me all morning & into the afternoon but it’s finished.
I need to go round with the emulsion brush next just freshening up certain places.

Three good things:
1. Roast potatoes & chicken thighs in the oven.
2. I have enough gin left in my bottle for tonight’s G&T.
3. Nazanin & the other hostage are on their way home from Iran….so glad for her long suffering family.

Lovely image of your work in progress! Like you, very happy to hear of Nazanin's release. Good news is GOOD and there's not enough of it these days! You'll have heard about Braemar Lodge burning down?

[Dixie Goode]

I love the idea of painting, but every time, once I get started, I question my sanity until it is finished.

[Pat Knowles]

@jamibann No I haven’t Izzy….that’s terrible, recently? Cathy hasn’t said but she’s had two long days at work so might not have heard herself! Sad for Braemar.
Just googled, this morning so she won’t know…..😱

[Beryl Lloyd]

Great image of work in progress - I envy you the ability to do all this , once I did it all as well - I am sure you will be glad when it is finished !

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl I’m hoping it’s finished now Beryl…..it’s the bending down & getting in the corners I hate! I’m fine with the flat easy stuff…..getting round handles too 😨😨

[Pat Knowles]

@pandorasecho Me too Dixie….I would willingly pay someone to do it for me…a professional job would have been better too. Our painter died so it was easier to do it myself…& cheaper!

[Hazel]

Well done and enjoy the G&T!

[Carole Sandford]

Sounds as if you’ve been very industrious! Enjoy that G&T!

[Joan Robillard]

I just to like painting.

[Lou Ann]

Looks so nice! Glad there’s some gin in the bottle! ☺️

[Boxplayer]

You industrious person you!

[Babs]

You are doing a good job. We have to paint two of our bedrooms and also the kitchen and family room once our new kitchen has been installed. We will leave it until it gets a bit cooler weatherwise though.

[Maggiemae]

I couldn't possibly do any painting - first reason - it would be second class, second reason - too much bending. Third reason - I wouldn't want to! Kudos to you!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae Well three reasons I shouldn’t be doing it perhaps! I can tell you’ve I’ve done a lot of painting in my time, hanging wallpaper too but this will definitely be my last job. I’m a quick painter too but I’ve found it hard this time.

[Pat Knowles]

@onewing Good idea Babs….I was hot today & it’s early Spring. Painters are expensive & I can see why!

[Pat Knowles]

@boxplayer @louannwarren @joansmor @carole_sandford @quietpurplehaze

I enjoyed the G&T I think I deserved every drop.

[KWind]

Great shot! The space is looking wonderful.

[bkb in the city]

Makes for a nice shot

[carol white]

I used to love painting and hanging wallpaper, but can't manage it these days with my back problems

[Judith Johnson]

Well said about Nazanin. I'm just so angry about how long it took the government to pay off their debts. Good job on the painting!

[Dianne]

You are so dedicated to get all that painting done. It’s a job I don’t like.

[Pat Knowles]

@dide I had to have another couple of hours this morning Dianne… two doors were a bit lacking of another coat! Finished now though hopefully.

[Pat Knowles]

@busylady Yes it took them ages… think it wasn’t as easy to sort out as one might think with sanctions on Iran but thank goodness they got their fingers out eventually.

[Pat Knowles]

@carolmw same here a bit Carol….it’s a very satisfying task normally but this time much grumbling under my breath!

[Sarah Bremner]

Good to get the job done.
I like your three good things!
