The Pantry Saga!!

A couple of days ago we found ants in the pantry industriously devouring Jim's lamington squares. As it was evening, and pitch black, I just picked up the packet and threw it out the back door. Then I  wiped up the rest of the little sugar ants.
Next morning, I decided to empty the shelf and give it a good clean. When I had done one shelf, this led to more, until the whole pantry was empty. After giving it all a good clean, I decided that it really could do with re-painting, so one thing led to another, and we found some white paint. But before we did this (or actually Jim did it), he tried to remove the ancient light fitting, which had practically welded itself to the ceiling, so that went in the bin.

As you can see, it is truly amazing what fits in the pantry. Jim is in there busily painting away, while I was happy with a purely supervisory role.
So all was done, and everything put back, and a new light fitting installed. Now the light in there is blinding, whereas before, it was like the murky depths.

So another job accomplished, in the never-ending list of house-updating.
