The subject in watercolour class last week was "trees". The sun was shining (briefly) and this palm tree seemed like the right thing to paint.
This week I am back in the UK for some errands. Mixed weather is expected but I feel as though we have turned the corner and winter is on its way out.
Meanwhile, Nick is tackling a job we've been meaning to do for years. Refreshing the en-suite bathroom. It’s tired and dismal but the biggest challenge has been in deciding how far to go with the changes. A bathroom is a Big Job and can be very expensive so we compromised.
Nick is doing it while I'm away so that I can’t grumble about the mess and disruption - which is another major challenge! He’s completed the demolition phase. Now all he has to do is fit the new items. Fingers crossed it will be finished by the time I get back!
