Cooked a seafood paella tonight, with haddock and large prawns. Followed Omar Allibhoy’s directions again, this time from Tesco’s website, rather than Jamie Oliver’s. Turned out delish! Very happy. Will defola be cooking this again. The alioli dressing really sets the paella of nicely. Yum!
Sitting in the lounge, watching Errand of Mercy, from the Star Trek Complete Series box set, which is really great, I just leaped up and took a few snaps of the bathroom.
The new Feathers of a Dove colour is looking great. And the Permoglaze white woodwork is also very cool and calm. The whole room looks so much better. It’s also nice to do stuff to put out mark on all the various domestic spaces. Up till now, this has always felt like Clive’s bathroom, not ours.
I still don’t like the tiles, the ceiling Artex, the carpet, or the clam-shell styled bath, bog and sink. But one or two things at a time, I guess. And with each addition or change, it becomes more personal to us. The white paint is still drying, and the room’s a bit messy. Once the paint’s dry I’ll be able to tidy up properly.
I think I’ll take a momentary break from all this DIY and home improvement mallarkey. If I do anything, it should probably be using some white sealant to properly attach the trim along the top edges of the bath. And after that, I’m spoilt for choice with a myriad of further jobs. Ranging from further garden clearing, to repainting the kitchen.
But for now? Another beer, and a second helping of Star Trek!
