Tom and Jerry Plastering Disaster

occurred the other day!
The landing ceiling decided to yield to gravity and I arrived one morning at 7am to find the hall covered in tiny bits of plaster. As the ceiling had been done by another plasterer I was quite chuffed because all MINE are still up and looking very good indeed.
Apparently one of the decorators was rollering paint on it when there was a horrible cracking sound and the whole lot crashed to the ground. Where I'd stripped back to bare plaster on my ceilings, the faulty one still had the paint and paper on it so had no real key apart from a coat of PVA.. big mistake.
So yours truly had to step in and save the day.
Now the plastering is all finished and paint is going on. Our decorators have been steaming ahead and have the bedrooms and hallway looking beautiful. I've been stripping paint and re-glazing and hanging doors, refurbishing sash windows and putting up lamps and hanging kitchen cupboard doors.
My latest triumph is to install some decking built out of 8ft 4x2's topped off with some of those timber decking tiles. Val and I spotted them in Ikea going cheap (£40 for 45 half metre square hardwood tiles) so they tidy up the end of the garden quite usefully. The patio is pretty much finished too so today I've been stripping the old grassy weeds off the back lawn ready for new turf. Think I may have trouble getting up in the morning nohw! Me old achin' bones!
Sorry no photos at the moment but it is a dusty environment and I'm not taking my little Canon in there for a bit yet.
Storm wise Beth we have had a few down-pours lately and some thunder but I have not witnessed lightening like that in the picture since chasing over to Benson one night from Chinnor (in 1975?) to follow a completely silent lightening storm. Who remembers that?
I think our heads were full of 'Close Encounters' and 'Star Wars' stuff and we thought we were being invaded by aliens..hah!
Pleased to hear your trip to Kent was a pleasant one Mum and Dad and Auntie June is well.
Right then off to bed for me.. nighty night everyone.
