Far and Away

Might be wise to give him a bath or chuck him in the shower with you!!

I could imagine his little paw prints leaving white dust around @Zoe7

There are little Cat paw prints too @Snowie So you can see where Toby has followed Cat up the hallway - soooooo cute.

I have already vacuumed and moved all the sanders, buckets, etc. into the kitchen. I now have a clear run to do the rest of the ceiling and painting. I think I will cheat and just paint the ceiling - will definitely need 3 coats then but I would much rather paint than wash. I'll get that all organised and begin after the fur babies have been fed at 5pm - then they will happily have a nap while I paint.

At this rte I'll have my whole house painted by the weekend LOL

Thanks @Snowie ..... I just have to grit my teeth and keep wading through all the :pile_of_poo: until I get clear of it, and part of that involves them putting on display how awful they both are. I don't know "her" but the circumstances she has taken on and her actions within them are showing that she is as awful as he is. They are not respecting any civil boundaries at all. This is how not to do a break-up .... They are making it impossible to be able to interact around special family events in the future when we are divorced, and he is free to be in a relationship with her. Thank you so much for sitting with me through this. It's been inconceivable.

@Zoe7, go you ..... ❣️ And have you taken some photos of all the dusty footprints ?

No I didn't @Faith-and-Hope - feeling sad now that I didn't think about that before I vacuumed

Awww @Zoe7 .... I am sorry I made you feel sad.

Maybe spill some paint in the floor and they can walk that through the house for a permanent display ?

Just kidding, but maybe re-create the effect with flour, cornflour, powder or something .....

I still have the dining room to do so maybe then I can get some paw prints. There is not as much patching and sanding needed in there though so cornflour might be the go LOL @Faith-and-Hope

Fur babies fed ✔

Paint stirred ✔

Ready to paint ✔

Will do all the edges first then I can roll the rest in one go. Should get the first coat done tonight ...and I'll try not to spill any because I know Toby would 'find' it if I do....

How is your drawing coming along?

We only had to submit one of our drawings today @Zoe7, so one is all I did last night ... but I really enjoyed it and relaxed into it for quite some time. It has engaged my interest though, so I will do some more tonight, now that I have got through the commitments I needed to for tonight, but I also have to get my head into gear and finish more of my sculpture for class tomorrow, COD we have to do some "show and tell".

Have you got your sculpture close to where you would like it to show tomorrow @Faith-and-Hope ? It would be great if you could do some more drawing too tonight - especially as you enjoyed it so much last night.

I am halfway through painting all the edges and corners so won't be long before I can roll the first coat. Tobes has passed out on the back of the couch - all his supervising today has taken it out of him

@Faith-and-Hope I often read along but most of the time let others support you.

I am glad you have so many here to support you through all this turmoil in your life. I hope one day you and your dragons can come out the other side.

Much love to you 💕

I am going to start with the sculpture work @Zoe7, and get it to a point I am happy with for tomorrow, then go back to drawing for whatever is left of the evening.
