No more wallpaper to strip. ^_^:hello:

But. I found the floor in the corner of the room is dipping down:eek:. It's not saggy or bouncy but just goes down hill. So now my task is to decide if I can be bothered to rectify it. The floor boards I got up this morning and found no rot. Just shoddy repair work from decades ago.
The mundaneness continues.

How can you live in a place for 30 odd yeas and not notice that the floor is not level??

Our lounge is three rooms knocked into one and has a slope towards one corner, things like commodes and wheelchairs will head for that corner if I let them, I did check the floors when I redecorated but found nothing wrong with them.

We once stayed in what was claimed to be the oldest Inn in Wales at LLandrindod Wells. Weird place as nothing was level.:ohmy:

Just up the road from us the village of Newbold Verdin had a pub called the Dragon.When you walked in the door you felt that you had already downed to many pints The floor had quite a considerable slope which due to mining subsidence had grown considerably worse It eventually had to close
The pub was eventually demolished The site was eventually restored and the site now houses the village surgery

Many houses in this area were affected from mining subsidence There are still some in the mining village s that you can see the tie bars holding the walls vertical

It's the weekend
 
It's actually been a very nice and relatively mild autumnal day here chez Casa Reynard.

I overslept (oops), but I spent the morning in the community orchard having the leisurely footle that went out the window yesterday. When the weather's clement, it's SUCH a lovely place to be. I picked a basket of New Rock Pippin apples - a lot of them came down in yesterday's gale, and some of the fruits are splitting as a result of the excessive rain. So when I ran out of basket, I took off my waterproof, knotted the arms around the collar to make an impromptu bag, and filled that too... :blush:

They are really tasty apples mind, and if stored well, will keep till May. I find it mindblowing that this variety was developed shortly after Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo, as the apples are so much nicer than anything that's in the supermarket. The food commentators of the time praised the variety for its flavour and keeping qualities, so that's good enough for me.

Discovered that there were a few slices of gammon still left in the fridge, so I had those in a sandwich for luncheon, along with a pear, an apple and two :cuppa:

Went off erranding this afternoon, which included a trip to the post office and picking up mum's prescription. And we did have a brief rain shower here just around sunset, but it came with such a magnificent rainbow... :wub:

I now have a :cuppa: and a chocolate biskit.

My teeny, tiny little old cottage is wonky. There's hardly a proper square line anywhere, and yes, the floor slopes a bit. But I like it, and it suits me fine. :blush:
