Painting: the Opposite of Fun

28.10.08

By SHELL SHERREEPainting a few rooms seemed such a good idea at the time but I've decided painting is the opposite of fun.I'm sure it just requires some patience and Zen. To be utterly absorbed with the task at hand. To become one with it. To stop thinking about how long it's taking and allow oneself...

Weather Forecast: Barmy then Balmy

24.10.08

By SHELL SHERREEI feel that I need to apologise for causing the unseasonal cold-ish snap we're having.

OK, the heat has driven me to the Seasonal Wardrobe Exchange.If you're an Enthusiastic Closet Organiser, you'll know what I'm talking about.
