Lynn {heart} varnish

Although we said we weren’t going to be moving back into the manse, we do seem to have taken up semi-permanent residence there…today we spent another happy afternoon in our former abode. Nick and Caleb continued with the painting they started yesterday, and Aaron read while I varnished. I lightly sanded some of the stairs which had paint blobs and concrete spatters, then vacuumed and wiped them down again. The varnishing job was extremely satisfying – even with just one coat they look fresh and new. Varnish is my new favourite thing. In the evening we babysat Angus and Louis at their house – they were already sleeping (or close to it) when we arrived so all we had to do was be there.
