cue Ladysmith Black Mambazo this morning, and it would indeed be beautiful rain, were it not for the fact that much of our roof stands stacked on a garden path.
Of course, we knew that the minute the tiles were taken off, the weather would change. Fortunately, they’ve sealed everything up well and as far as we can tell, no more than the usual drips (which they are going to resolve) are appearing.
All that scaffolding does mean that the outlook is particularly dreary and the kitchen very dark indeed. So a jaunt to Cirencester to do some food shopping didn’t seem like too bad a prospect, even if the temptation to stay snug and dry at home was rather more compelling. However, I didn’t take into account the blinkered approach which is adopted when wearing a hood or using an umbrella. I’m with that US Senator here and believe that negotiating a town centre, crossing roads and walking along a busy pavement demands one’s full attention. This morning I found myself feeling particularly irritated by people who simply weren’t concentrating!
Things were so bad I just had to buy myself a dress to console myself ;-)

Aha! I read in the wrong order. Roof not floor, but I would love them on the floor... love the numbering scheme also. If I put it on the floor I would have them show. This is all taking place in my imaginary castle, by the way. Rain is good for the soul and develops character... perhaps multiple characters if it goes on forever. The dress is great!
Great dress! Just remember not to be on your mobile while wearing it.
And here's me sitting in comfort awaiting the arrival of my boreing shopping! Then I will have foodie treats in the kitchen as well. (my way of rationing myself)
Like the new dress and heartily agree with you about the talking/listening while walking. Seems incredibly dangerous to me.
I am so glad I am over all tht chaotic building here... you have my sympathy.
