Everyone has their views about it.
Me? I'm all in favour of enhancing the appearance, albeit temporarily, with a bit of restoration.
Of course I know it's not possible to turn the clock back but I just couldn't look at the cracks and crevices and other signs of ageing any longer.
So I consulted with an expert who, after a thorough examination, explained what I could expect if I went ahead.
He also pointed out the risks.
His fees seemed reasonable for what he proposed to do and, most importantly, I trusted him.
We met again at the appointed time on Saturday and he began the improvement work that would take longer than anticipated, eight hours in total.
He told me afterwards he'd needed copious amounts of strong coffee to keep him going.
Recovery is still in progress.
