lovely people

I keep encountering lovely people. The vet yesterday was so kind and empathic. Today one of my blog readers offered to come and help get the painting finished. I feel very lucky. But as I declined the offer, I need to get off t'interweb and get the job done (sans roller as it broke last night, so it's the pad being held by my bare fingers, which I think works remarkably well). I don't think i need to put a third coat on the wall the kids started. Turns out (again) that being generous pays off. Their liberality with the paint means only two coats have sufficed compared to the patchy end result of my scrape-it-as-far-as-it-will-possibly-go mentality. There's a lesson there!!!!
