Shearing

Having one of those days :(

Off to finish the ceiling now, hopefully. Still grateful for the music that will make it more enjoyable :)

Ok, so maybe finish was a tad optimistic. Tomorrow I hope to take several bin liners to the tip and that will free up more floor space to reach the extremeties. I've likened the experience to shearing sheep - tho maybe that's the influence of playing Blake songs about sheep? Or maybe because the polystyrene is white. But it';s quite satisfying when the blade goes in and a good length of white comes away (rather than the more usual millimeters, accompanied by dust and cobwebs. There are a strangely copious amount of flies buzzing around the fluorescent light whilst I'm doing it. It's a bit cold and draughty up there, but not like being outside in a barn. And I guess most folk don't shear sheep up a ladder. So maybe it's not like shearing at all.

I shall now shear my own head - that will make it colder, but will look better in the morning :)
