To the uninitiated it’s like Vegemite to Americans.

Just a tad chilly here yesterday at about 3 degrees. Snowed for a couple of hours around lunchtime but nothing stuck to the ground. We got to 15 today and back up in the 20’ by Thursday. So much for winter!

After a promising start to the day Yesterday was a disappointment weather wise with lots of cloud taking away the beautiful sunshine Still managed an afternoon swim which was also a disappointment as the water was full of these blubber things it really was disgusting

Thanfully my gym workout followed by a Pilates class and well being session had me in the right frame of mind to manage any adversity throughout the day

It was a mixed bag here today. Started out cool and sunny then warm and overcast then rain and warm then sunny and cool before getting cold and wet this evening. Swear I was living in Melbourne!

Ah that makes sense. Good luck with trying to find a white. I think it’s the most difficult ‘colour’ to choose with the number of options available. It’s so confusing.

Went to Bunnings to look for a couple more colours and also for some new lights for the kitchen. Have got White Duck and also Hog Bristle to try, will put them on the wall later to try but just holding the Hog Bristle card on the wall i think i'm going to like that one. Didn't like the lights at Bunnings but have plenty of other places to check out.

Both of those are popular neutrals, especially the Hogs Bristle. It’s more a warm colour with yellow / brown undertones. White Duck from memory is slightly green undertones. Yes I’ve spent way too much time over the years agonising over Dulux white paint colours! If you find the HB is too strong you can also go half strength. Or quarter. We did a feature wall in each of the kids bedrooms in Grand Piano as well. It’s also a nice neutral but more a warmish grey or griege as they call it. Good luck choosing. Choosing whites really does my head in. In fact I’m trying to select a white for our toilet now. We had the bathroom renovated last year and used the same tiles in the separate toilet - only part the way up the wall. But the tiles don’t go well with the existing antique white paint on the toilet walls. So I’ve chosen Lexicon Quarter which will hopefully work. Will get a sample pot soon.

And in case Andy complains, just getting this thread back on track, today was a lovely first day of Autumn.

Haven't tried the new colours on the wall yet but i'm thinking i like Hogs Bristle already, the current lounge room is Barristers white which is a nice yellow undertone, even though its not on the Dulux colour charts anymore Bunnings said they can still mix it. White Duck may be a good contrast to as the previous colour in the lounge room had the green undertone.
Lucky with our bathroom we only have to paint the ceiling and cornices , other wise its all tiles.

A bit of rain coming home from Newtown at around 9.30 pm but nothing now.

Good luck with it all Horrie. It's fun updating the house but can also be stressful trying to choose everything especially paint colours. Well it's stressful for me anyway as I tend to procrastinate and lack confidence in my own judgement.
