Toning Things Down

[poliphilo]

I've started painting the kitchen. It has been orange and lemon yellow. It will be magnolia. My advisers tell me the old colours clash with the new red and black kitchen units. I don't think  Raoul Dufy would have agreed. 

I do dislike going up ladders.

I agree about ceilings.

A loft ladder tore loose from its moorings while I was halfway up it a few years back and I've been nervous ever since.

How frightening.

Actually, I was more-or-less afraid of ladders until one slid out from under me, when I was quite young, and left me dangling from the gutter of the house in which I grew up. Paradoxically, after hauling myself onto the roof without falling, I haven't really been afraid since.
