RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted March 13 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13 6 minutes ago, Winslow Boy said: she probably wouldn't notice. I was really surprised that while Aditi was away looking after her Mum for a week I replaced the 40” television with a 55”. It wasn’t until she went upstairs and noticed the 40 inch Sony in the guest bedroom (I had put it out of the way) that she suspected something was different. It was odd because she is normally a very observant person who notices slight changes. She must have been sitting in the lounge for a a couple of hours and hadn’t noticed. 1 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, or the painting implements soaking in the sink. I did joke when Aditi was still working that the reason I used a particular brand of furniture polish was so that she would know I hadn’t been idly sitting around all day. 2 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted March 13 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13 Just now, SM42 said: It was similar but one wall did change from yellow to green. Andy Green isn’t likely to appear here after the unfortunate incident of green paint about 40 years ago. Aditi decided the wall in our bathroom of our first home would look nice in dark green. It wasn’t my choice but I painted it. After I finished it, I could tell that Aditi didn’t like it. After a few days of trying to get used to it, she wondered if it could be painted white. It took quite a few coats to cover and I always thought there was a hint of green about it. There have been no paint colour experiments here. 2 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted March 14 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 14 (edited) When I had my retina re-attached, it produced a cataract. I also had a little bit from a laser in the other eye. The one eye had cataract surgery and the colours are bright, but there is a fold (or something) in the retina and everything is wavy. I now look at the carpet and the one eye thinks it's beige while the other calls it ecru. (signed) He who stares down lasers with both eyes. And happy pi day for Thursday.

Given my usual diet, you’d think I’d be partial to that but that sounds more like a bit of a right on, lefty, desert boot wearing concoction to exploit the vacuously trendy, orange skinned, fish lipped, lycra gym clad, self-promoting, out to be seen, social media frequenting, fashionistas.
