Painting by numbers

The tatty desk and chairs
0930 - The time we called the Principal to ask if we could come and paint the school’s chairs and desks

0.6  - nanoseconds for her to say yes

3 – the number of her children who ended up having to make their own lunch

1100 – the time painting began

34 – degrees Celsius in the shade

12 – willing children from the school who answered the call for help at short notice

10 – unhappy mothers who will have to try and scrub paint of their child’s hands this evening

10 - paint brushes

12 - litres of paint

120 - desks and chairs now re-painted in fetching lavender and cornflower hues

About 1.5 – hours drying time 

Unknown – the numbers of bottles of water consumed

5 – hours to do the job

1 - happy School Principal 

And hopefully, about 140 happy children who on Monday morning will see that the paint fairy has once again re-visited the school!

Paint me, paint me!

Only another 102 to go...
