Route 66

I have decided that when we get round to doing the living room I'm getting someone in to do it. This is because I have today started painting the hallway. This "should" be straightforward, but we have a hell of a lot of hallway for a house that has only a few stairs. It's not that it's long or anything, it's just very very tall. And, His Lordship won't let me go up ladders on my own. This means that I've painted half the undercoat and can do no more just yet. It's somewhat frustrating as I just want to get it finished, but can't. The cat is also sulking because she can't race up and down the stairs. We've decided on "Lemon Pie" because it's quite a dark space and the previous owners had painted it what I have come to lovingly call "Baby S*** Brown". I will take a picture when it's done.

Meanwhile, we're researching a trip to the USA with the aim of doing a bit of a driving tour. The trouble is, we don't know how to start or really where to start. We both like the idea of starting out in Boston and seeing a little of that corner. I want to go when it's warm though! The other option is to fly into one part and out of another, but it's all very complicated and I'm kind of snow blind from looking at too many options.

It's good to see everyone having a smashing time in Oz, I bet it's been a bit like old times!!

Make sure you come through KS on your trip. How long are you thinking of being here. That would be a good start for any input from me.
