It’s geet exciting, Carinthia, and one of my favourite things to do. I’ll ask Mr Bee to take a pic of my palette. Loads to do before painting and lighting, but I must choose the colour scheme before the floor coverings are chosen, never mind the wall colours. Happy days!
Do you feel more rested, today?

Hedgers, if it says it will rain, it will rain. It’s a windy old place, too. I always take a water/windproof jacket in the autumn. Hope that helps.

Looks a bit strange, but the image on the left is a box lid (I have long admired the colours in that) and on the right it is part of a triptych which is destined for the living room. The sample in the left upper corner of the latter is of the tablecloth and in the right it’s the colour of the sofas. To add to the bonkersness of my scheming, the conservatory walls will be painted Eucalyptus green to echo a tree visible from it. Hope some of that makes sense. We live very close to the sea/Firth of Forth, and the house seems to call for sympathetic colours.

Oooh, I like the look of that, wee Bee. Very much.

That looks particularly harmonious, to me.
The grey green of Eucalyptus is very soothing & forgiving as a wall colour, Soo. The wood & soft furnishings will add warmth.

Thank you, all. I’ll go and cook dinner, now: Keralan cod with roasted kale and rice.

Soo I love those colours and the pinky brown of sofa is so warm and inviting
I was taken to Dunnes today and let loose to get a selection of tops for the autumn
Nice tops to go with jeans and denim skirts
I feel spoiled rotten

I agree with everyone else, I’m sure that will look fab, Soo.
Has anyone seen that Fish this morning?
What happy crocodilian
Ulster fry bits on chafing dishes
Stretch or starve service
Yup.
And I am not a teeth-pickin’ sort of sparrer.
Knitting. I am on (drumroll please) square #200. Ten to go before the Great Arranging and then the crocheting together of the squares.
Exciting! Can’t wait to see photos.
They are going up, slowly, once the ends are darned in.
The trouble is that the colours come out muted, especially the greens. Square # 188, for instance, is bottle green in real life!
You are a most Clever and Industrious Fish, to be sure.

They will be an absolute Bastard to crochet together until you have got 3 or 4 rows done.
You will need the length of the table & then to roll it to one side.
Tea on yer knee fer the forseeable…
