When we got the keys to what is now mookau nearly three years ago, the outside of the shop was a rather austere (and strangely shiny) black. We wanted something a bit fresher so we painted it it’s current light green. Or at least we painted 95% of it green. The observant amongst you will notice that we didn’t quite finish the corners and because we ran out of time before we opened, and because when we went back for more paint of the same colour it has been discontinued. Bah!

That’s all about to change, however, as we’re painting it tomorrow – if the weather holds! The paint has been bought (and we got a spare can, just in case this time) and the scaffolding has been booked. All that needs to happen now if for me to sand it down and paint it.

Rest assured that we’re still going to be open, but I’ll be up a ladder rather than in the shop. Do shout hello though.
