Uneventful weekend… today I’ve been working on the bathroom which has mostly involved stripping and sanding layers of paint, the most recent of which appears to be over forty years old. It’s like a journey back in time with Nitromors. (A very boring and dusty journey back in time to an age when paint was mostly green and was made so well that in the future it would be virtually impossible to remove). If that stuff gets on your skin though… it’s like the xenomorph’s blood in Alien. I thought it was going to burn my hand off, go right through the floor and into the flat downstairs.

Now I am tired and dirty and I’m going to go and have a bath in my half-finished bathroom and see what happens if I breathe in any more fumes.
