Mellow Yellow

[poliphilo]

I'm painting the bathroom. The colour is "lemon zest" and it spreads with the consistency of runny yoghurt. I can almost smell the citrus.

There are lots of things I like about winter, but mornings like this are not one of them. I woke at 8.30- out of mud-coloured dreams a whisker away from nightmare- and it was still dark. I opened the curtains and the world was pewter and everything dripped.

Yellow, yellow, yellow. Lemons, sunflowers, dandelions, fields of oil seed rape.

Ailz says the bathroom was freezing when there was just the white undercoat on, but it's a lot warmer now.

That's funny, isn't it? The only problem with a yellow bathroom is that the lighting is immensely unflattering. No one looks good in yellow lighting.

LOL.

We have a very small bathroom mirror- and it's tucked away in a corner.
