(She says with just the right tinge of snark.)
Here's where I got to as of 6:15 this morning, when my second bottle of wallpaper remover ran out and I decided to call it a night:
Finished publishing the previous blog post by 6:40 or so, whereafter I set the kitchen timer to ring at what I thought would be about twenty after nine and crashed out with the dog on the sofa. It went off, I heard it, but I didn't bother looking at a real clock. No, I just reset the timer to ring at what I thought would be about 10:00 AM. Plenty of time to make it to church. But it took me to more like 11:30, and too late.
Whereupon I got up, used the can, fed and toileted the animals-- then crawled between my bed covers and slept (still in my clothes) till 6:30 PM.
Whereupon I fed and toileted the animals again-- and have been on the computer ever since. My excuse is that I'm having second thoughts-- again-- about the color of the "Savernake" dining room wallpaper I bought from the UK in 2009. Hey, I wonder if the color is better now, and if they'll take the eight rolls I have (all unopened) in even trade?
But now that the site has my location code it keeps reverting to the US page and tells me the company won't ship that William Morris paper to me here. And that even if it did, it would cost me $98 a roll! (I think I paid around half that in '09). That won't keep me from giving them a transAtlantic call sometime this week, but still, this doesn't get dinner (breakfast) eaten or the remaining beige-with-pink-roses paper off the wall.
So now I'm also wondering if I would have been better off to have gone to bed at a (semi-) decent hour last night.
But moaning over what can't be helped is a further waste of my limited time. And maybe I can redeem myself with some progress pictures. Enjoy!

If you want the site to not know you're in the US, try a different browser. It may locate you anyway, but if it only knows because you told it, that information should not transfer to a different browser unless you let the second one import the first one's data.
That could work, and/or maybe logging in from a different computer. But I looked at the return policy, and the limit is 60 days. I'd say it was more than four years late for that!
