I think i need some urgent treament, its so bad now, i woke up and all i
could see was pink and yellow........

Well last night i painted one wallk in the living room pink, it was suposed
to be soft light red but i dont think i put enough white in in orange.

When i woke up this morning i didnt know where i was, i thought it was some
seedy brothel.

Oh well at least its not green.

Off now to take the car for the gearbox fitted, then come back and more
decorating.

Hi Jules,

A "light red" is usually "pink".

I don't know if you have this in England, but some stores have little paper
chips showing the exact recipe for mixed colors where they have already done
the work of getting just the right blend so you get a toned down color,
without it turning into a pastel, like a pink. They do the blend right
there at the store for you. Mixing colors and getting exactly the right
result is very difficult. I speak as an artist, so I know. I once
painted a very small kitchen a color they called "Decorator Red." It was
nice. A slightly toned down red. Funny I can remember that, as it was
in the mid 1960's!!!

Glad to see you are getting your sense of humor back!

The paint was donated from a recycling centre as i cant afford to go out and
buy some. Well i dont think i will win any prizes with my choice, but
when/if i get a carpet i will have to wait and see. Oh took the car for the
gearbox fitting this morning, should be done in a week and when i got back
my main pc had blown up, the one i use for my p/t job so rushing round
getting that done.

PS got your last email, it went to my Apple Mac as i was using that at the
time but i will reply later....tonight once i get back from a council
meeting!!

PPS no i still feel bad, very bad...no better at all and get my blood
sugar/kidney blood tests back early next week..

PPPS Saw granddad a couple of days ago, hes doing really well...looking
dapper, hadnt seen him for a few weeks.

Jules it is still all too new. Just a month today, you know? Give
yourself a longer time to recover from all of it. If you need to take
some antidepressants till you feel a little better, there's nothing wrong
with that, either. Can you see a doctor about that?

About the paint.... see how you like it after you had a chance to look at it
a little longer.

I still like off-white the best. I never get tired of it, it goes with
everything, and it is brightening to a room, and you can change your entire
decor by just changing the accessories.

I mentioned it to my doc last week, but its something i have to sort out
myself.

Well i will leave it up a month or so. Anett asked me earlier what colour it
was and i told her what i tried to get, and she guessed pink and couldnt
stop laughing

There is nothing makes me more crazy than broken glass with sticky stuff all
over the floor.
Hope you got it all cleaned up.

Ronny:
Still laughing about the brothel part! LoL

Reminds me of the time we got a huge,sort of circular,bright red couch
from out local justice of the peace office! Seems the local JP wanted
to get rid of it because so many guys were laughing and telling him it
looked like it came out of a brothel! LoL

BTW,I'm way behind,so what's this about the gearbox on your car? Is
that what I would call a transmission? Had to have one of those put in
my old truck last winter. Then lately had to have it back in the shop
for several other things. Brakes fixed, exhaust gaskets and flywheel
replaced,etc. Running pretty good now;but still have a bit of a miss in
the motor. Did most of a tuneup before putting it in the shop. Now need
to do just a bit more. Hope yours comes out OK.
