ch..ch..ch..changes
the last few days have been spent painting.. it maybe should have been the arty kind, on canvas and genius but it was the house kind. it started with the toilet. the floor is now black and the walls white. then it moved to the laundry.. same colour scheme. then the out the back bit and the outside of the out the back bit.. same colour scheme. its weird. looks a bit like an art gallery.. the white is very very white.
its crazy what a coat of paint does though... such a cliche but its so true. its like we have moved house. pretty exciting. next i would like to paint the living room... the dark red is so dark. it makes winter even worse.
its a nice space to be in when you are painting.. you start to not notice the paint dripping on the floor or the phone ringing or even the sunshine in the air.
a good few days off.

oh. the house keeps on moving further and further away from me, and the notion that that makes me sad, makes me simultaneously realise how much i am clinging to it as the notion of something. of home, perhaps. i miss you bash, so much. it makes me smile though, to think of you in your cut-offs, potato print top, covered in paint. get cracking on the canvas kind too kiddo, the world is waiting for it. i will call again soon. all the love.
the lounge is still dark gloomy red.. it takes time, this painting business! but maybe soon it will be a kinda pale olive..?? hmmm
