still waiting..

Last night was cold and clear. Now it is cold wet and windy, with the sort of rain that thoroughly soaks you in seconds. Just the day for the heater in the car to decide to die slowly!

I still wait for the kitchen, the cupboards sitting forlornly half made.

But not to despair- this is a day to savour yesterday's work...a tidy house, fresh home-made bread and fresh home-made marmalade.

even colder

even colder last night, but no snow down here. I suppose were were paying for yesterday's sun!
Mountain Man was up there, working in a T shirt on the southfacing top of the ridge. Hardly any distance away where the other side of the ridge gently slopes north is 2 inches of dry snow!

I walked to the bank today, 3 miles mainly by the frozen canal. The ice is about 2 inches thick.

We have had a few clouds today, but now it is past 3 o clock the temperature is dropping again.

We have screws, we have wood... now the kitchen is waiting for a lent saw to be returned!

Now it looks as if I will have to go to the New Town AGAIN for one last bit of kiln flue.

I just need to find the first domino in the run and give it a nudge...and see them all fall into place.

I know I am getting there...but it is frustrating waiting on other people when I have got projects as far as I can myself.
