Eternity

Painted the exterior laundry room, up to the height I could reach without a ladder. Looking for a proper house painter. Decided to clean the bedroom window screen, and uncovered crumbling paint and wood. After cleaning it up, it wasn't quite as bad as it looked initially, but the frame needs tlc. Had some wood hardener from the porch project, caulked the window a bit, I'll paint it Wednesday.

Every problem has a solution with a new problem embedded. Because positive feedback loops are dangerous cancers. Everything has a lifetime. We carry the microbes of our own destruction, because how else could this all work? Eternity is an awful idea.

Bowerick Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged is an immortal being who became immortal after an accident with a few rubber bands, a liquid lunch, and a particle accelerator. After a period of total boredom, especially on Sunday afternoons, he decided to insult everyone in the entire universe in alphabetical order.

I remember the Flanders and Swann song "It all makes work for the working man to do"....

Any house project means more time and effort and supplies than originally planned for.

Always.

indeed they do..we've just spent a whole day sorting out the garden pots and clearing one corner ready for a potting/young plant shelter made from scrap wood and polythene, and the bench and shelves from old pallets.
Plus watering...we haven't had any decent rainfall all month..
