Going just a little bit mad.
I think I should have painted our house myself.
Since we moved in, we have had painters in each day fixing dodgy bits of paintwork. One wall is being ‘fixed’ for the fourth time this morning.
Our sinks are full of paint, our floors are covered in paint, new furniture has paint on it, and even Chandler is getting about with a few spots on him.
I was coping o.k with the paint everywhere, figuring I have the time to clean it all off when they finish… the thing that really gets to me is the horrid little rickety ladder they use.
The little wooden ladder is held together solely by one fraying red handkerchief. The painter wobbles up and down the
ladder on his spindly little twig legs with a brush in one hand and a bucket of paint in the other.
The ladder fell apart TWICE today, leaving the painter in a puddle of paint all full of twig legs and bits of ladder… he just tied all the bits together and kept on painting.
I hope he got the wall right this time, I don’t think I can cope with any more painting…

I only wish you had videoed the painter. It would be a Youtube hit! Well, sounds like you’re having fun. Good to hear that you settling in.
Hi Johno,
That is such a good idea, I am going to start taking my video camera with me everywhere… this was just a regular Hefei day!

I’d love to see Chandler with the spots of paint on him!
I must stop being lazy and start with the pictures, you are right xin!
Chandler always seems to have bits of stuff stuck to him Nessa, he is just that kind of dog :). He is pretty funny to be around. I’ll catch it on film for you next time I can!
I love Chandler already!! Woof! Woof!
He is very lovable! I will write more about him, just for you Nessa!
