... 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.
