It began unexpectedly with the paint I’ve been needing (we have some unexpected asbestos walls which need to remain painted and the current coat is peeling and we didn’t get the renos done that I wanted so I told J it had to be done before summer ended, and I’m running out of summer). He was doing a Bunnings run for some stuff to repair leaky taps and asked if I needed anything, I told him to get Cottage or Federation Green paint and pretty much any white that looked like it would go with it (I don’t much care as Cottage Green and white is not my favourite but I’d never gotten around to redoing it in Cottage Red and we’re planning on repainting the inside in greens).
