Please DO NOT do this but I sort of need to...Today the fire has finally been put to sleep for the summer...I have been waiting because I really want to repaint the kitchen and the fire is just a dust monkey...So today I cleaned the fire out, such a mucky job...but having once left it until autumn I now know that getting it over and done with will make me feel so virtuous and mean that autumn can be enjoyed when it arrives! Having cleaned the fire no excuse...time to repaint the kitchen! it was one of the early painted rooms in the house and was first painted four years ago...It really does seem like yesterday how time has flown here...White paint in a room that burns a woodburner all winter long... it is looking very tired and definitely an unwhite shade of cream...with highlights of a darker shade of dust...So here I go up my ladder on a table repainting...By the time I had cleaned the fire and prepared the room I didn't start painting until after 3pm...I've managed to get a third of the ceiling done...It is a bit odd doing white on white but already the room looks so much fresher...I'll get it finished by the beginning of next week and then because I am virtuous and cleaned out the fire it should look pristine all summer....I don't really like the ladder on the table arrangement...I am not very good with heights but the ceilings are over 3.5m and it is the only way I can reach...
