Third coat

 

If you can see any improvement from the second coat, let me know! I think I hit it with a fourth coat - and if that doesn't make it shine, I'll put on my own coat and go to the pub for a drink.

 

Second coat

 

What can I say?   Ten more coats to go?

 

 

First coat

 

Varnishing the floor upstairs and painting the ceiling downstairs. Then waiting for the paint to dry. Then starting all over again on the second coat tomorrow.

I just hope it won't rain as all the beautiful Persian carpets and the Moran sofa and chairs are stored on the outside balcony. They are wrapped under big blue tarpaulins which won't be much protection if we get another hundred millimetres of rain.

The label on the tin the floor varnish came in reads, "Protect the coating for 14 days against heavy foot traffic and moving chairs".

Somehow, I don't think I'm going to let the furniture sit on the balcony for the next two weeks.

German Movie Night

 

This Sunday is again 'German Movie Night' at Riverbend. This week's treats are Ich denke oft an Piroschka and Good Bye Lenin!.

Our German neighbours Frank and Beatrice will come across the river to indulge in some German 'Kultur'.
