After a busy day...a bike ride to post a letter (morning collections in our village are ridiculously early!!) and see friends who run a second hand shop.
They are now in an old mill, a historical four storey building in Mauchline..and the business us going from strength to strength!!
I bought an old tenon saw, a couple of knitting patterns and a mini vice. Pirate found an unused jigsaw puzzle of The Broons!!
We dodged all the showers and as they cleared away I got all the holiday washing done!
Then as Pirate had his well earned siesta I started work on the workshop sides, taping up before painting.
This is supposed to be one coat paint, but I think it needs two. No point skimping and tough expensive it is supposed to last ten years!
Himself joined in and helped, peeling off the tape before the paint dried.
Now that is better, looking more of a piece instead of a mixture of odd bits...which it is!!
And Pirate insisted I go the other side of the camera for a change!!

The green of the door frames you nicely! I hope you’ll be very happily productive in your workplace.

I am always impressed how paint can make miss-matched items suddenly feel cohesive. We've painted odd matching furniture (shelves, cupboards etc) and they now all 'belong' to each other. Your pottery workshop is looking good with it's new coat. xx
Beautiful color. Nice photo of you, too.
Well hello, Ms. Blogger and painter and all around human being! The doors look magnificent...fit for a king, er, queen!
The paint job looks quite professional, and thank you, Pirate, for the lovely picture of GZ.
I like those colors of green! Ps: thank Pirate for his insistence.
