Cooking on hold!

Cooking will be on hold for a few days as I am deeply immersed in decorating.  This was not planned!  Last weekend our waterbed developed a leak which shouldn't have been a problem but after a failed repair we decided a new mattress was called for.  We drained the mattress (or so we thought) and tied it in a bundle and tried to carry it downstairs - I had a good idea to slide it down the stairs as it was a bit heavy - wrong.  There was still water in it and guess what as we pushed it down the stairs the water started to leak out.  Fortunately we managed to catch it before we lost too much.  The photo is of David draining the rest of the water just outside the front door. 

Having taken the mattress out of the bed it is easy to move so we decided to decorate before getting a new mattress.  Spent most of Sunday moving drawers etc and getting ready to paint.  "I'll give you a hand next weekend" says David.  Wrong again - he's on a safety boat course all weekend so no guesses for who is doing the decorating.
