I am not surprised that so few of you are interested in a modest bathroom redecoration.

You would have to know me very well to appreciate the Herculean effort it took for me to get even this tiny project completed.

When I say completed, the grouting is about half done and there’s paintwork that needs touching up.

There will be some of you out there that could completely renovate a rundown mansion in the time it takes me to pick a plasterer. Well, bully for you.

We all have our limitations and overcoming minor obstacles should not be sneered at by the more proficient DIYers.

In the meantime flu has kept me away from my studies. I’m hoping for an extension so I can get my next assignment in.
