De-painting the kitchen floor. Not an easy job but will be the biz in the end.

Elbow grease required.

Is the red layer part of the original glaze on the tiles? We had similar looking tiles in the kitchen of our house in Essex (built in the 1920s) which had a unsealed red glaze with needed 'topping up' with a red polish.
No, it was a plain flagstone floor when we moved in, it was one of my less bright ideas to paint them to complement a previous kitchen colour scheme. It's well embedded because it's been down a goodly while and was a quality paint that has adhered well to the nooks and crannies and theres a few layers of it to get through so it's coming off a layer at a time. I'm getting there with it now and another days elbow grease should see the original floor back.

Self-inflicted, then.

Snap to it :bravo:

I remember a red and white bedroom I had as a teenager. Red was the accent colour and my poor Dad had to paint all the woodwork red. This was back in the early 80s.
He got his own back many years later when I offered to help him decorate the room for some overseas visitors my parents had coming for 6 months. He made me do the woodwork.:wacko:

As @potsy says, it's a bit wet. Luckily it stopped raining enough for me to walk from the car to the front door of school so my spider costume didn't get wet.... It's spooky day in Nursery today. The rest of the school are having a spooky disco this evening.
My spider costume consists of a black wig, a fluffy spider on a hair band, a blue and black sparkly dress covered in spiders and webs. All courtesy of Asda who seem to be the only place to do adult costumes that are not indecent.
 
Awake again. Sent to bed at 8:30pm because I feel asleep on the sofa. Just been booted out of bathroom where I usually have 30 minutes or so when I'm too sore to sleep. Now in the sitting room again at the dining room table looking at a glass of something to help my bowels and a bottle of morphine. I think the morphine tastes the best and this stuff doors not have alcohol or sugar in it!
