I almost forgot to write my blog this evening. I’ve had such a quiet day.

There was no rolling out of bed and rushing out a bit late. It’s all been very leisurely. I worked more than I wanted to but I also got to clean my art / craft studio which my son has been using. It hasn’t felt like my place any more so I just needed to clean it and get it back to being my tidy studio, my space. I also managed to do some music practise and plan some painting that I want to do in the next few days although I’m not sure if I’ll be able to manage it.

What I have lined up is a trip to a nearby city tomorrow afternoon and a real treat for me as I love it there. I have to begin to insulate my house. I had been hoping to insulate the loft are but my architect friend told me that as the loft was so shallow, then it would not be possible. I am therefore going to put polystyrene panels on the ceiling between the beams and this will be covered by plasterboard and a skim of plaster which I can paint. I will lose both my cotto tiled ceiling and my wooden ceiling. It gets so cold in the winter that it all seemed like a good idea but I am starting to feel sad about my ceiling. I just love opening my eyes and seeing it in the morning. It’s going to be a bland white beamed ceiling now and not my tiles. Each one is different and they are like little friends. Perhaps in the fullness of time I’ll discover a way to insulate my loft area and joyfully reclaim my ceiling again.

The panel work starts on Saturday which is the day after tomorrow. Am I nervous, yes. I’ve never done anything like this before. I know that if I manage this job I’ll be thrilled and patting myself on the back as well as warmer when the weather really does change.

Quick updates, my daughter is now feeling much better and didn’t have Covid, also I am very impressed by my new glasses and haven’t had sore eyes for two days now and I’ve been sleeping really well.
