The advantage of being practical

My new flat is in extremely good condition, although it’s slightly battered around the edges from previous occupants moving furniture. Our lease is hypersensitive about fiddly cosmetic stuff like Blu-Tack – we have to use that 3M stuff to attach anything to the walls.

Nevertheless, today I filled in, sanded and painted several dents left by the painters when redoing the lounge. Because I can.
