Where even my blisters, get blisters

The boys rooms are finished after another day of painting. I have 6 blisters on my right hand and one on my left. They look good, so it was worth the pain and suffering.

I idly picked at some (hideous) wallpaper in what will be my bedroom earlier because I wondered if I'd be able to get at the bottom edge where the skirting boards will be fixed on. The entire sheet came off in my hands so within 30 seconds I'd stripped every wall in the room - result! Nothing scary underneath either, another bonus.

G spent the day doing what he does best - appearing to be extremely busy (but what did he actually achieve other than bugger off to Home Depot for 14 hours?). To be fair, he did manage to empty the hot tub, fill the hot tub, heat up the hot tub, add some monty amounts of chlorine in the hot tub, run the hot tub, and then drain the hot tub again (having then killed every organism known to man). Tomorrow he'll fill it again, heat it again, and then add the appropriate chemicals so that it can be used! Can't wait.

We also came across most of the spider population of the Pacific Northwest today too, I think with the place having been empty for 3 months they've decided it's a good place to move in to and breed. SCARY. Made G kill several. Dunno what I will do if I come across one when alone ... go out until G is home I suspect, nasty terrifying hairy horrid things!

D and I went to see a movie tonight at his request and that I managed to drag myself to, blisters and all. Saw Valiant - a British made animated film which was extremely excellent, about homing pigeons during WW2. Ended up attempting to explain the concept of WW2 to Dylan after the film so that he understood what these pigeons actually did in real life, and explained there was a bad man in Germany called Hitler who hated alot of people, especially Jews. Dylan immediately piped up with "'I'm glad he didn't get Grandma Andy!!!"..... which floored me as I had no idea he knew a) she was Jewish or b) what Jewish was!
