This morning I’ve got to be out of the house and on the road at 6:30 am.
Some decorators are arriving at the Cliff Top Residence at some unearthly hour to deal with the nicotine stained walls and ceilings.

This is where a picture hung – no Scissorshop or Photoshop fiddling.
The special paint needed to stop the stains seeping through costs £105 for 10 litres – it’s going to take 30 litres to do the whole place.
This is why professionals are coming in – it’ll be cheaper in the long run as I do tend to splash it about a bit.

(The former occupant used to have two carers coming in on a daily basis. They smoked with her.
Such dedication. Lo,TG Ed)

Stumble It!

Eeew! Nasty stains! That’s going to be quite a job!
Need some cotton wool to help out?
PS My RSS feed didn’t update…
You’re surely not suggesting using that sweet little Cotton Bud, are you? Mind you, I suppose if attached to a long stick……………
Nooo, he’d wriggle too much.
(Will try and consult the oracle [Penfold, obviously] re: feed)
Morning!! :L
Painting is always fun! Have fun, daddy!! *twirl*
I’ve just spoken to him. I can’t tell you how much fun he’s having – he’s delirious.
(Of course in his case that’s completely normal.)
what is a carer? I really SHOULD be sleeping lol
Whoops. Sorry Kandy, see Nursey’s replies.
(Can’t get used to driving this bus.)
if that’s what the walls look like imagine their lungs…
Someone, not a nurse, possibly a relative, but in this case local authority supplied, who looks after anyone who can’t look after themselves – washing, feeding, bathroom etc. And in this case synchronised smoking!
Sorry Nursey. That was for Kandy.
As for their lungs – well and truly kippered I should think.
I quite like it. Can I use it as a theme for my next website?
Hmm, we could hire it out I suppose – I expect you’d want a discount, now your credit’s crunched.
Thanks for the explanation…if I’d taken time to think about it I’m sure I would have figured it out
That’s what I get for staying up all night AGAIN…
As the TG seems to be much better than me at offering explanations perhaps I should retire gracefully? …… no way!!!!
Hello DP!
You have a new blog look!Lovely design!That’s cool!
Last night I saw a movie called Finding Neverland.I think that it’s Kensington Gardens that is shown in some scenes.I remebered when I was there once enjoying all that green…I know that you are not blogging about green parks…or movies… but that’s what on my mind for the moment.Have a nice week!
An excellent film young Belinha – I believe that scallywag Mr J. Depp is in it – shame he doesn’t have my good looks ……..
Did I hear someone mention Johnny Depp … ??
NO!!!!!!!
My sympathies are with you. We had a similar situation in the last house, only not quite as bad. I don’t suppose Johnny Depp had anything to do with them all smoking like that? Do you? I mean, I have heard the Depp lad smokes… or that sometimes women must watch him and perhaps feel as though they require a smoke… so maybe Johnny Depp is to blame for your troubles today?
Ahh. Johnny Depp. Such a scallywag sometimes, but I hear that women like that kind of thing…
Oh. You’re not sure who I was talking about? Why… Johnny Depp.
*snigger*
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again “Johnny Depp smells!!!!!”
[The decorators did brilliantly today - they are going to finish tomorrow - hurrah!!]
I see that Johnny Depp is hot in here!!!Eeheheh!! Did you saw him in that bloody Barber movie?!!He and partner actress were great together…but he has a terrible voice!!I do not like his looks that mutch.Can’t understand how he’s been voted sexy man alive and stuff like that!But he did some great characters -the Pirate Sparrow and the Barber…and that crazy moviemaker,Ed Wood…;-)I used to watch a lot of movies.Not anymore…I miss those moviegoing days…:-)
I haven’t seen a movie for ages …… perhaps we ought to treat ourselves?
Poor you. I remember that well in our house before we had it gutted. The window in the living room appeared to have been smeared with honey – but it was nicotine! Come and stay in Dulwich with me sweetie. You know you want to!
OHMYGOD! I was just about to join your fan club, when I noticed that you have taken down your link to me. I am going to flounce back outside and roll up the wellcome mat. You are trifling with my affections young man!
I’m sooooo glad you’re not fickle …… [my sincerest apologies for my tardiness ....... I shall remedy the problem forthwith]
I’ll be over tomorrow – shall I bring a sleeping bag?
Hang on a minute!!!! ……. you are there!!! Asda’s do very good glasses at £2 for two pairs ………
Od Daddy dear,
I apologise, I have been drinking afterall. No, you don’t need a sleeping bag darling, I shall ask our housekeeper to sleep in the garage. It is very cosy in there with the door closed. You can have her bed.
Jolly decent of her ….. or is it a transgendered him?
My goodness! That’s quite a transformation, DaddyP. At least it can never be a triumph of style over substance!
Mr Blunt! – how nice to see you. I think it wise to have the cracks showing up front …… and then nobody should be disappointed ……..
erm you’ve had along day…..? lol
that is one original piece of stencil graffitti you have there DP. I think you should add to it before it’s demise!!
did someone mention dear Johnny D?… ahhhhh my day is complete *snigger*
tsk forgot these…..
;-D
etc etc
Note to self …… encourage all bloggers to have shoulder operations as it seems to cure typoitis…….although it can affect the memory.
