What a difference a day make? as she sang. Well, a full day of painting would probably make a big difference. However, today we would only see two more walls painted. This one on the middle house took two hours plus to finish. After this I painted the third side on the main building, my Mansion. All in all I´m pretty happy with the result anyway.

Paint it red 1
Great to be back in The Village again! A Mayor shouldn´t stay away too long. I found and bought a telescopic ladder on the way here. It fitted exactly in my practical car, no need for a rack on my car roof. After a quick cup of tea and a couple of sandwiches I started working on making the main building pretty. Red house paint made of iron oxide is very traditional in this part of the world. After some time I had finished the right hand side. One can clearly see and compare the freshly painted side and the still to be painted front. While starting on the front a thunder storm came from nowhere. The god of thunder, Thor, came rumbling on his waggon pulled by two goats. BANG! A fine summer rain drizzled as I stod shaking on my ladder wondering if the storm ever was going to pass by. As writing this there is a clear blue sky and the birds are singing their hearts out.
