Good weather for painting the hallway.
Because, let me warn you, once you start a DIY job in the hallway - the very entrance to your house, the most public area of all - you cannot leave it half done.
And it's always a much bigger job than you think it will be.
But at least there's good weather for painting coming up in the next few days.
We're told that snow (or possibly more likely, sleet, rain and wind) is on its way.
So it'll be a DIY Easter at my house - fuelled with chocolate!
Moral of the story. Never start what you cannot complete in one weekend.
Hi! I’m Anne Diamond and on weekday mornings you can find me on BBC Radio Berkshire (10 - 1). Even if you don’t live in and around Berkshire, and you know me from my TV and writing, you can always read what I’m doing here or listen online. Welcome!

“Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better to paint a picture or write a letter, spend time with a friend, bake a cake or plant a seed, ponder the difference between want and need?
Dust if you must, but there's not much time, with rivers to swim and mountains to climb, music to hear, songs to sing and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead.
Dust if you must, but the world's out there with the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair, a flutter of snow, a shower of rain. This day will not come around again.
Dust if you must, but bear in mind, old age will come and it's not kind.
And when you go -- and go you must – you, yourself will make more dust!
