Snows back! What a surprise, and with it is the cold. It was back on with the fleece shirt, and woollen jumper.
There were a number of things on the list of jobs to do, including a drive to Zeeland to collect two small tables Kelli bought for the deck, and get paint mixed for the kitchen cabinet fronts.
The drive was risky, the sleet was blowing across to flat fields, it felt like being sand blasted. The place in Zeeland turned out to be in Olive, a place out in the back and beyond.
We also had our weekly shop, and a good chance for me to get annoyed at big people blocking the isles.
It’s like the Mr Bean sketch where he’s walking down stairs, but he is blocked by an old lady walking in front, out of desperation he takes the fire escape and rushes down one flight of the back stairs and emerges though another door only to find the old lady still in front of him.
The same situation arises here, at time I feel they must think I’m stalking them, and at times I’ve pretended to scan the shelves, or look at my invisible watch.
There wasn’t a lot of desire to work in the afternoon, it was too windy to do much spraying, I just managed to machine a radius on the edge of a new worktop I’m making for a side table. The cold will be around for another day then it should get a lot warmer, I can’t wait.
Another Lifetime to go
