'Opulent Cream Charade'

"Painting walls is sooooo boring!" I moan, though there is nobody here to hear my plight.

I flop back into the fold-up camp seat and admire my handy work...

Its only an off-white wall: 'Opulent cream Charade' as it states on the tin. 'And what a charade!' I think to myself.

It took me quite some time to board up the great big hole that had been made and paint it all over to look 'good as new', but it was a job that had to be done, and there was nobody else to do it.

Standing now, I apply the last few strokes to the wall with a heavy sigh, then, I replace the lid to the paint pot and plod off to wash the brush.

After another hour and 20 mins, it's all cleared away. Black plastic bag, containing the brush, paint tin and dust sheet, ready to be carefully disposed of - and I am finally stirring some hot chocolate around in a mug and yawning.

I make my way back through the lounge, making a mental note to ensure I set the alarm for 6am - must get that black bag outta here as soon as I can...

As I pass the newly painted wall, I stop briefly, my face now close to it's surface.

"Mother...? Oh Mother.....? Goodnight, sleep tight!" I say with a grin.

She'll sleep soundly tonight for sure.
