In the first story in From Beyond the Grave, there's a short sequence illustrating the passage of time as new tenants take on a flat, and Tony Curtis gets to design / dress three additional sets. And we go teak - rosewood - chrome...
Very bored of masking now.

Incidentally, the ‘hot gloves’ arrived in the most peculiar packaging which made them look like a sex toy and the box said ‘unwrap your sensual surprise’.
Barely just gone past the anniversary of being mis-delivered a package that I didn’t read the address label of and opened to find a 12” dildo.

Oh blimey. Good to get home and bawl my eyes out all the way through this week’s Grand Designs revisit.

Went to the Euro store while out and about. To see what inappropriately named things were there.
Cream Slagg Dessert Cups.
Tittwänck Biscuits.
Bonk Coffee.
My favourite spot today was this…
‘Daily passion’ is definitely a euphemism.

Donated lots of Mr Loons’ leftovers. Drove home in an ‘ugly crying’ mess, looking like a complete mentalist.
Surprised I wasn’t seized and deported.

Just putting handles back on. Then remembering that I have to take them off again. Because I have to do the drawer edges.

Late to the news today.
Everyone: Could we possibly get a worse leader of the Labour Party / Prime Minister?
Wes Streeting: Hold my lukewarm jug of piss that I've spilled all over myself and chipped the handle of.

Wasn’t happy with the lightness of the two horizontal sections that are unmasked, so going a little darker on both.
For all those people who like to lowball me in my stores, because they think this is all easy and only takes 5 minutes to do.

I’ll upload my aurora pictures later after I’ve photoshopped the really heavy blanket cloud coverage out, and photoshopped some northern lights in.

Using newspaper to mask the furniture and just being made angry by it all.
Obviously these are the three things I want from seafood.
Some middle management cunt thought outside the box for THOSE bullet points.
“I hope this crab had wisdom beyond its years…”

Lacquer for these chaps, and then it’s back to the cabinet for some masking, and then darkening. Couple of areas were more sunbleached than I thought and require a bit more toner, and then I need to do the edges of drawers and things with a flat solid brown.

In between meltdowns and being busy in the garage, I’ve finally ordered a a rug for the living room. It’s needed a rug for 8 years, but Mr Loons’ bottom was a law unto itself.
So, a rug was what is technically known as ‘a bad idea’.
I miss that unruly bum.

I like the Carry On films but the lore is too confusing, impossible for modern audiences to accept these people could play a major part in the French Revolution AND lose their bras on camping holidays

When I watch The Repair Shop, I imagine mother headed there with some dogshit old artwork of mine to be restored. She’ll fall over on the gravel path. Then make up a story about the picture. Complain that they’ve made her stand in a draft. Then be unhappy with the final product.

“Noooo, ‘andles. For drawers.”
Another boring example of why we tone and don’t stain. Everything there is in its natural state, but just sealed. And there are big variations in the raw colour. So, toner will be our friend to help even things out.

I’m going to astound you all now, so I hope you’re sat down.

It’s not very warm in the garage today.
And no, it wasn’t a stupid idea to buy some crap sounding vintage German speakers rather than a new kerosene heater that works.

Let me run the Bond franchise and I’ll blow him up at the end of every movie. Maybe several times within each movie if it feels right. He’ll be back the next movie (or scene) and nobody will talk about it, but man are we gonna explode that guy a LOT.
