I'm getting sick of it now! It has rained since December, but last week it finally stopped and showed signs of spring. Last night the rain came back and looks set to stay for a while At least its not too cold I s'pose, but FFS last year at this time the kids were in the pool and our visitors were sunburnt! We're still in jeans, boots and jumpers this year - and rain coats and wellies!

The up side is, for us anyway, that we are getting a tremendous number of those jobs done indoors that have been "put off 'till a rainy day" from the last ten years of sunny winters! My carpentry shop has never had so much use. I have been moved to putting a stove in there though

Yes, I'm afraid I really wasn't prepared for a winter this wet. And whilst I have got loads of jobs lined up for 'rainy days', I just feel so fed up and lethargic when the weather sets in, that I don't do them anyway!
Good news is that we should have a nice day tomorrow Jo, and as you say, at least it's not cold

Oh yes, the dog is more miserable than me! Doesn't it get you down the constant door opening, only for the dog to slope back in again.

Fingers crossed the rain doesn't get heavy so the satellite goes. At least there's a good game of footy this afternoon!

Right, off to sort out boxes in the spare bedroom.....

Just to make you feel better the situation hasn't been any better in Blighty. Look at this article from Britain's most reliable source of information - The Sun

Coldest winter for 30 years | The Sun |News

There were lots of articles about this, but I chose the Sun for the great vocabulary that it uses!! You just don't see all of those expressions - clichés (crippling, chaos, see the mercury drop below...) anywhere else except the good old SUN
