It's the simple things that satisfy

After doing a spot of college work and sorting out my notes, I have spent the rest of the day painting white paint onto walls and woodwork, and we shall start putting up the coving up shortly...once the correct adhesive has been purchased. I am very good at painting (if I may say so myself) and enjoy it hugely. Well, except painting the ceiling (which hurts my arms and fills my eyes with paint speckles), but there is always a nice strong muscley man to attend to that element of any room.

I shall be rewarded with sushi in a couple of hours, which makes me very happy indeed. :-) Suuuuushi. Yum yum. Nice slabs of raw fish, rice and perhaps some vegetables. Yummmmmy. :-)

I am tired. My hands ache, my arms ache, my back aches, but I feel satisfied. It has been a satisfactory day. Satisfaction has been achieved. It has all been wonderful satisfying. :-)

Time to smile and drink tea for a moment.

Kisses.

PS I discovered that golden syrup with finely chopped garlic, soy sauce, a splash of fish sauce and finely chopped chili (with seeds) is delicious when used as a marinade for chicken. Same sauce also used to saute spinach leaves and baby plum tomatoes as a side dish, and drizzled over sweet potatoes, regular potatoes and carrots once they landed on our plates. Deee-licious.
