So how did YOU spend most of January?

A quite small bathroom on account of it being in a fairly basic cheapo house (what else for a committed idler with minimal income?). The job was just about do-able for an idler, though as ever some things were less straighforward than expected. The shower tray is 20% wider than the bath was, yet the room seems like it's 50% bigger.... which I can only put down to the lousy original design. Why I hadn't done this renovation a decade ago continues to puzzle me. True, it's not for nothing I'm an idler... but sometimes it pays to break momentarily with one's nature and experience less palatable realms - if only as a reminder of the fruits and joys from what one has opted for as normality, though occasionally it can lead to other great benefits, such as in this instance one can now shower with arms outstretched... or even together with another.... YOWWWWWEEEE...
