Not Saturday Shorts

Just a quickie to say that I'm doing the Saturday Shorts post tomorrow instead of today.  I'm on a decorating bent and after 5 hours of painting yesterday and another 4 hours today, I've had enough and I'm going to sink into a hot bath and ply myself with wine to ease my poor aching limbs - I've been decorating the upper landing which has involved lots of stretching and contorting my body into odd shapes to reach difficult wall and ceiling spots whilst hanging off ladders over stairwells.  Eek!  I just had to keep telling myself not to look down, lol.

Anyway, will definitely be back tomorrow with the Shorts post.  Sorry to keep you all waiting :).

  2. Don't feel ashamed, Anne. this bit of decorating is left over from when I had my loft converted 9 months ago! It's taken me that long to motivate myself to do it.

    I don't envy you though - but I must say - the day was wonderful today, nice and clear and not so cold...

    and at least you have a plan - for afters...

  7. Oh that sounds nice - the bath part, I mean. I have to go to one of those "events" (fundraising dinner) that are so hard on the INFP psyche. *mope* I'll be thinking of you!

  8. Ooh, sympathies, wren! I'm an INFJ - should have been a nun! :) Axxx

  9. Chris: Whenever there's a sale on anywhere I have a sudden mind block as to what to buy! I may go and have a browse and see if anything takes my fancy.

  10. Hi EH
    I think the nice weather set off a 'spring clean' mentality which meant that I was suddenly motivated to start the much-put-off decorating!

  11. Wren: INFP?

    Anne: INFJ?

    Is this some kind of code? :)

  12. I use EverNote to keep track of all those recommendations and reviews as I browse around. Makes shopping much less stressful!

    Yup - those are codes, for the Myers-Briggs/Kiersey temperment types. I tend to come out as an INTJ, about as far to the I as it's possible to be. :)

  13. Chris: OK, not done a Myers-Briggs test. The Government don't do these for teachers cos they're just so grateful that someone wants to do the job they don't really care whether they're a good match for that career :).
