A dab here and there

There are still a few areas of the house that need the odd dab of paint in order that it can be seen at it's best. GF wandered round with his paint brush, touching up here and there with the undercoat. This is designed to show what it could be like, rather that hide things that need doing. For instance, the porch needs replacing, so whilst it is being smartened up, Gorse Fox is not trying to hide the remediation that is required.

The wine rack was in a parlous state. How could so many slots be empty? This was intolerable. Intervention was required and so GF headed off to the local emporium run by the Messrs Sainsbury. The car park was absolutely packed. his did not bode well for a quick visit. Fortunately, GF was evidently quick enough to overtake all of the dithering zombies shuffling aimlessly down the aisles - made his way to the wines, collected a couple of half cases and ploughed his way to the checkouts. Pleasantries and coins of the realm were exchanged with the operative and GF burst forth back into the car park and headed home.

The BBQ fired up, first click. After leaving it to to self-cauterise for about an hour, the sausages, pepper steaks, and bacon were thrown on while GF prepared some salad. First BBQ of the season, and mighty fine it was too.
