Paint-thinners - down, down, down the drain you go
Today we ventured further, to Williamson's Park. M**** feeling all the better for it. Erm . . . the seemingly eternal construction of black-out shutters for A******'s bedroom continues . . . five wooden panels that need cutting to shape (done), primer (three/four of five done), undercoat (ditto), and then glossing, white on one side (three of five done) and blue on the other (none done). These things are necessary as the black-out lining we had bought for his curtains have been gradually falling apart and the foil we've been using as a temporary measure, likewise. So, erm . . . where was I? Was I anywhere? Hello? Paint-thinners? Oh yes, I pour 'em down the sink. Is that wrong? Am I killing fish and other fishy things with my lackadaisical approach to the disposal of white spirit? Wretched stuff that it is, white spirit, but it's the only way of cleaning gloss off my brushes, you know?



Lurkers Revealed!!!
I'm thinking of having some kind of month dedicated to lurkers (i.e. those that read this but never (or rarely) leave comments) revealing themselves. I often check the IP addresses of visitors and can correlate these with most people I know (I recently had to bar a certain Chinese IP address, as they kept posting stupid adverts), but there are always a few unknowns. I don't know how this would work though. In my boredom I'm sure I could think of something.
