I’m always pleased with myself when I decide to do something unnecessary just to make me happy.

And it was completely unnecessary to spend 3 days painting an extension. It wasn’t as if my little attic bedroom looked horrible……more that it had one of the few free walls in my house. Then after staying in a beautiful house for a week, I wanted to make my house a little more interesting.

It is also very cheering. I’m fairly sure that every night when I climb up into the attic I will grin at the sheer ridiculousness and cheek to have painted an extension.

Despite knowing that it is painted, it does actually make my room look bigger.

I decided that the window would look onto a white wall and the sun would be shining from the left. It was also so that the the painting was about the space inside more than the view out of the window.

I’m not so happy with the bricks, but they look better than they did this morning.

Now I can get on with my real work.

It was a lovely morning compared to yesterday.

Fluffy came for breakfast and stayed for a sleep on her favourite chair.

The work to stop Dirupo, where I live, from falling down the hill is still going on.

I’ve been awake since 5am today. My bus back from Naples in November is booked and I’m feeling more independent.

Wine time now.
