Today's little version of hell is ...

[kantti]

... being in a flat with a freshly replastered wall and resisting the temptation to poke at it.

I just want to see how it responds to pressure, and it looks so lovely and smooth that I want to feel the texture. And one little poke can't hurt, can it? Anyway, it's my plastering and I paid for it so I can touch it if I want to, can't I? And what if it's not as smooth as it looks, I need to find out sooner rather than later, don't I?

Aaaaaargh.

It was bad enough when the man was applying it -- it went on just like frosting on a cake, all soft and spreadable, and I soooo wanted a go myself.

Today's new career plan: professional plasterer. Although given my apparent Problem with fresh plaster, it might be a very short-lived career.

I say you just poke it and get it over with! (said the actress to the bishop)

plastering is really difficult :( its so not as easy as the professional people make it look!

and if youre going to touch it, better wait until you can see it starting to get paler and dry out! that way youre unlikely to leave much of a nasty imprint in it! ;)

Listen to the wise advice, for she am the plastering queen!

Oh, I know, that's why I'm trying so hard to resist the temptation!
