I have white stuff all over my hands. I really should wash it off.
I would’ve washed it off earlier after the first time, but I knew I’d be doing it again so, you know, what’s the point?
It’s like showering before going to the gym. Actually that’s a bad example as there are some people who really should do that, either that or they’ve been in the gym a looooonng time, phouew!
Looking down at my hands, the white stuff gives me a sense of achievement. Not a large one, but hey size doesn’t matter, right?
Anyway, whilst I will need to do it a third time, I guess that’ll wait until tomorrow. Best go wash my hands.
Thankfully it’s white emulsion so will clean right off.
I find rubber gloves normally help.
Is that the bathroom ceiling done then?
Eh? No I was talking about wa… shing the car…??
(Oh god, did I just make a wank joke in response to my mother??)
Yes, it’s just about done, one more coat I think.
