Ups and downs

( Late night )

Today, however, I decided to paint my bedroom door. This I managed, although I'll have to see what I can do about flattening the surface before I put on a second coat, as I turned out to have been more enthusiastic with the white gloss than was necessary. I have at least made some progress before the next visit by my parents, who come armed with paintbrushes. The other project that I tried to take forward today was the direct transfer of files from my old PC to my new PC, but the cable that I purchased today turned out to be the wrong one, and on driving back to Oxford I found that the shop had closed, far earlier than I'd thought an 'out of town' store would. So I might have to schedule that tomorrow, as well as the walk (necessary to counterbalance the effects of the cake that I bought today), the purchase of shoes that I would like to precede the walk, and of course the German practice.
