Contrary
to popular belief, Eskimos do not have fifty different words for snow, however
it must be the case that paint manufacturers have at least that many names for the
colour once known as magnolia, all of which I studied today in selecting a
shade of cream that would complement the brown carpet and five types of wood
featured in our snug, a room targeted for a quick freshen up this Easter; in the
end I plumped for two tubs of “soft coffee” before returning home and commencing
the all-important preparation – filling cracks in the plaster, masking off the
woodwork, and painting the radiator (mercifully pure brilliant white).
