Ha ha, that's the colour! Just need to rename it something poncy like Rustic Autumn Sunset, shove a Next label on the tin and my Mrs. will probably adore it! :)
Hospital... you've met her then?!! :D
The door is original from when the house was built (mid 80's), it's aluminum and had been (badly) painted at some point (it was flaking as well). Most of my neighbours have replaced them but I went for the budget option, wet & dry old paint off, proper primer & special 'garage door' paint. No idea how garage door paint differs from normal paint (is made by Hammerite BTW), probably just a marketing gimmick but the guy in my local paint shop reckons it's good stuff. I'm quite partial to the current 'red oxide' look it has at the moment TBH but the Mrs. is not so keen!

Why go for a primer?
Hammerite the garage door, got some 'lovely colours' now according to Mrs DL, we have 'Wild Sage' at the moment ... save you an expensive hospital bill and extra paint!

Painting garage doors is rubbish but it can actually be fun. Simply buy a horrible colour primer/undercoat and when your Mrs. comes home pretend the job is finished & comment on how awesome you think it looks :)
But who then pays for the hospital treatment?

Nearly there with Steam games now. Going to give this laptop a spin on a few games to see what it can do. Any benchmarks I should run?
Got Fraps installed now so I'll check the FPS at different settings.

Morning.
Oh, the waiting for parcels is painful. Not going to arrive until at least 3pm now.
Still, weather looks fantastic for once and supposed to be once for the rest of the week. cel Damage HD comes out today, I've got the next part of Walking Dead Season 2 to play and I'm sure I'll try to fit in more EDF 2025, so it's not too bad, all things considered.

Soooo.... Parcel is now marked as "Your parcel has been relabelled to continue its journey" and seems to have gone up to Manchester for relabelling. Basically this means I won't get it until tomorrow. So that was worth staying at home for today then...
