Blimey!!  In the space of a few hours today, I have cleared out and repainted the whole of my spare room for my new lodger - who to be fair bullied me into it by coming round and opening the paint tin, and handing me a brush! Hence forth my new lodger will be referred to simply as “R” - cos - it’s sounds all mysterious like :P  oooooooh …..aaaaah

I even discovered the wonders on Dunham Mills - and unfortunatley so did my cash card!  Went there only for a look,  came out after completley redecking my bedroom and bathroom with goodies!

Anyways, once the spare room is finished, I may take a piccy for the blog, it’s a shame I didn’t take a before shot, but then I didn’t want to break the camera lens (the room was a bit of a state to be honest)…

Time for a well earned break with some red wine, pizza and a fillum!

Well, it is the longest In have spent in London village in one go; but whilst I didn’t take as full advantage of it as the “snoring herbert” who sat across from me in the course I still had a great time (he apparently went to a different show every night) and whilst most of us sat attentively listening to our tutor Yogesh (somewhat of an Alexi Sale looky likey) this guy was drifting in and out of consciousness…it was most comical….

Anyways, for the most part we walked from the hotel to the course which took 40 mins a pop every morning aiming for a 09:00hrs start (despite some colleagues rather conservative estimates?!) I must admit - I was not prepared for this experience and at some point I felt like a salmon swimming up stream through the sheer mass of people walking in the opposite direction to me, as we crossed on the wronged side of the Tower Bridge, due to some sort of construction work.

I know a little more than I did last week.  I have now met more members of my family, and slowly my inner circle of blood relatives grows again - now I am back home and it is the weekend, you would think I could rest right? 

Wrong I have my work cut out, preparing my spare room in readiness for my new lodger…  so with that I will bid you a good morning, as I scoot off to more chores, and cleaning out.  (yes I am throwing out as much as I can in an effort to streamline my life)…

…I “WILL” defeat this hoarder in me!!
