Am feeling very pleased with myself at the moment.

'Tis my treasured day off and I've just finished re-sealing the gap between my kitchen bench and the tiled wall. This is a job I've thought of trying to do for quite a long time. The old sealant was discoloured and had broken away in a few places.

I had done the re-sealing around the bath whilst mum was here and it was a success, so thought I'd move on to more of a challenge.

The longest part of the job (in the kitchen) was removing the old sealer .. over an hour of scraping and twisting the old stuff out of the gap. I hadn't bothered to do this in the bathroom but the sealer there was in better condition than this lot.

Now I'm freezing my butt off sitting here with the doors open to try help clear the smell ... at least this time I remembered to take the rags covered with turps out of the room (had wondered why the bathroom still smelt of the stuff days later!)

Hmm, now what other jobs could I do today?
