Scrubbers!

Much activity in the bar today. Stripping, scrubbing splashing, spraying, swearing. The walls and ceiling changed colour as we scrubbed years of nicotine off. Meanwhile I went to a paint shop to get paper, glue, brushes and several gallons of brilliant white emulsion. Tomorrow the ceiling and upper half of the bar will be painted white. The white will act as an undercoat on the walls and on Wednesday we'll put the top coat on the walls. The painting is going to plan...

... which is more than can be said for the rooms upgrade. The plumber turned up to strip out the ensuites in rooms 2 and 5, but the joiners, despite swearing on their auntie's grave that they'd be here today did not show.

Spit snarl.
