It’s ANZAC Day here in Australia and it’s a public holiday – a day off that is much appreciated; however, since the shops and supermarkets are closed, I can’t really do much today. I was planning to paint the feature wall in the living room but because I don’t have a ladder, I won’t be able to do it effectively.
I’ve been thinking about having a feature wall in my living room because there are some hairline-cracks that have appeared on the wall, due to the prolonged drought. I have bought the filler for the crack as well as a scraper to help me do the job properly – I just need to decide on what colour to put. I’ve narrowed the selection to a deepish red-burgundy or a mellow peachy-orange colour. One of the trips that I will need to do this weekend is to visit the local Bunnings to buy some paint. I have already got the super-whizz-bang no-drip paint-brush-thingie that I bought at the Home and Garden Expo last weekend at the Royal Adelaide Showground. I was duped to buy the whole pack for $80, but I think it’s worth the money if it helps me do the job properly. I’m not an expert AT ALL in handyman’s work.
So far, I have spent the morning rearranging some stuff in the living room – I moved my stereo from the living room to the shelves in the dining area, in preparation for the home theatre that I bought off eBay. I also moved my Esquire and National Geographic magazines from the lower shelf to the top shelf. I found out that I still need a power board because the wire from the stereo won’t reach the power point. I will need to buy it tomorrow because K-Mart and Coles are closed.
Well, what I have been doing since the last time I updated my Blog? This is for those who were worried that I had dropped off the face of the earth ever since I posted my last entry … hehehe. I ended up not watching ‘Orchestra Seats’ for the French Film Festival even though I had the ticket already, because the movie was on way late at 9.15pm and it was on working day. I did watch ‘The Namesake’ during the weekend with Julienne, the retired teacher who I met during the French Film Festival. Len, her husband, didn’t join us because he was hiking in Mount Lofty with his mate. I enjoyed the movie and I will post a review shortly.
