V is for Vanilla 21

[Vanilla]

The after effects of the antibiotics and bad bacteria etc could be a major issue in how I feel today, the bad metallic taste is apparently lack of zinc, so I am now supplementing.

I have spent the last three or four days enjoying my own company, and fixing things around the Brighton flat, including setting up my TV and stereo. WH owned these and I put them in his storage locker, so I spent a few hours buying on eBay and got some reasonable stuff for quite good prices, including a new coffee machine. I shuffled from the big house to the flat and visa versa. Using some of my old stuff stored in the attic too, see if I can work this for minimal cost.

I also had some metal paint and painted the Art Deco stair guides on the stairs to the flat, took most of today. They were very tatty, and I scrubbed the stairwell too, I will re varnish the tiles so they gleam. There are 6 flats here and these have needed doing for a long time. It's time consuming and very fiddly.

I shall repainted the wooden garage door with yacht paint. There is an old car stored here, a very old blue convertible which needs to be washed and sold or given away. It was mine but WH wanted to keep it. It would make a good project for a car enthusiast.

I have also organised for some quotes for new doors for the front entry from the communal maintenance fund together with some carpet tiles from Wickes. Was deferring that until the painting was done!

It is going to be done and finished by the end of September, absolutely. Better get busy again and stop feeling sorry for V.
