Things to do on a wet day

The weather is still awful, it rains every day, it’s cold, the garden is at a standstill, thank goodness we still have plenty of Yorkshire tea or I’d be on the next flight home.
Because he couldn’t make progress outside Mr FF decided to demolish the chimney breast in the lounge, as you do. It had come away from the wall slightly and did need attention but you can imagine my delight.  Everything had 
to be covered in dust sheets or moved into the dining room so we had no where to sit or eat.  We had bags of rubble to shift and spent a full day cleaning.  Now the lounge looks slightly less than beautiful
Then he ordered the materials to finish the terrace, so now he has 132 paving slabs to move, 12 bags of cement and a lot of sand.  The lounge is on hold.

  1. Oh dear. When it rains here (which it does a lot!) my other half gets restless too. So far, thank goodness, he hasn't resorted to demolishing the sitting room but just potters around fiddling with stuff or playing solitaire on the laptop so that I don't get a chance to do anything online. Our forecast is for rain on and off all week.... sigh. Hope your weather improves.

  2. I am verging on a nervous collapse just reading this.
