Painter

Bloody 'ell, that 14 year old is on fire.... 100 from 35 balls.

It's Sunday and there's no peace for the wicked... The question is - skirting boards, door frames and doors, or leave them as they are?? There's only 8 doors and frames, and probably 80m of skirting boards but they'll all need sanding and undercoat before top coating, and.... I think I'm leaving them as they are!

Homemade chicken, bacon and egg pie. Fortunately it was good, as there's a lot of it left....!!

Same here. My home on the coast is mine, and no way would I let it whilst I was away. I've got 3 rentals at the moment, and having had 8 years of relatively few problems two sets of tenants have moved out. The first needed some building work done, not really the tenants fault but I wish they had reported it when it arose, and then redecorating, and the second is just plain filthy. Fortunately I've been able to do much of the decorating/maintenance stuff myself, otherwise all those savings made during the good years would soon have disappeared. Much of both sets of deposits have been kept, although one argued the toss about having to pay for cleaners... I'd sell them all, except no-one's buying...

Rescuing a second rental... looking round the place, i often wonder how people can live in the filth they do. Grout by the toilet is stained yellow.... it was black... oven knobs are brown and caked in muck....and as for the kitchen ceiling.... I gingerly sat on the toilet ignoring the stains looking up at me, to discover the seat is no longer fastened... and I need gloves to investigate that....

Chicken penang, with a difference. Couldn't be bothered to cut up the chicken thighs so air fried them. Made the sauce separately. With chips. Well, the air frier was already warm...

Living next to the sea, my car suffers.... Whilst a mate drives it most weeks during my winter in Thailand, he doesn't clean anything more than the wipers do for him.... so when I come back it goes to the people at Tesco and comes back gleaming. After that it's me, usually monthly unless we've had a storm, when it's covered in dust and salt. My weapons of choice are a lidls battery pressure washer (it's not as powerful as a mains one, but does the job, and one of those hairy car washing mits

Haven't made pastry for a long time..... homemade mince and onion pie and chips

Stuff of dreams.... 14 years 23 days

Is that the one on soi boomerang? Didn't know you were a partner.... 😀

This just appeared on my YouTube feed....

Air fried chicken breast, chips with a mushroom and mustard cream sauce. Slightly embarrassingly I forgot the sauce was on the heat and got too involved in watching the ipl.... next thing I knew there was a burnt smell coming from the kitchen.... Rescued it taste wise with another dollop of cream, but no pic 'cos it looked awful!
