Tatts all done now. It took an extra hour to fine tune the colours but Saira was happy to stay past closing time and I was more than happy with the end result. She hates finishing a big job because it usually means 'goodbye' to someone whom she's built up a relationship with. I was flattered that she admitted to looking forward to my visits because we discuss 'stuff' that she doesn't usually talk about with others. I know I will miss her.
Car is packed (I'm sweating, 20 degress in October? ridiculous). How can the area under our stairs hold so much junk? I've emptied it into the car to be stored, guess where, under the stairs in the Blackpool house! This must be the circle of life Elton sang about (I already know of a ton of crap in other rooms that I'm going to re-fill the empty under stairs area with when we get back).

Right, New Order albums in car, check, daily tide times noted, check, address of farm/boarding kennels in Essex to check-out on the way to Blackpool, check, New Order tickets, check, X Men trilogy box set, check, Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 3 box set, check, clean pants, check and ibuprofen (for tattoo pain), check.
Back on Tuesday.
