We had a breakthrough today - finally found a paint colour we liked for the hallway! Only had to go through about fifteen different coloured testpots so not bad going really (!). Have bought all the paint now so can actually start painting sometime soon... the weekend has been a shocker weatherwise - gale force winds and rain for most of it. We had brunch at a cafe on the waterfront on Saturday, and half the customers inside suddenly ran for cover as they were pelted with massive hailstones which had blown in under the windows, it was really quite bizarre.
