As for today, today I learned: I hate checks.

Again, it's scruff to the rescue, and once I hit it with oils it'll get even scruffier. How in t'seven hells do people get neat lines on their checks? Don't be all tellin me about stencils n suchlike, as I tried that, and lining up every single teeny tiny square of masking tape was even more nightmarish than painting it by hand. Yuck. And that was just the front - still have the back to do
