I did housework yesterday. Today I have made lunch and a pudding to follow the bangers and mash. This afternoon I intend starting another hat or baby jacket, I make these for charity, the last batch went to Ukraine.

Dog was so wet after our walk that I have had to bath her. House now smells of wet dog and a lot of hoovering will now have to happen. I wish I was gardening!

I like it sometimes because I actually get some housework done for once. We don’t get much, though, over here. Driest continent on earth so I am told. Where we live probably gets more than most, we are at the base of hills.

I sometimes find it easier to get more work done when weather bad.
No excuses to go outside.
So yes, I am being productive.

Didn't go to the market todaay, instead I will have to pay over the odds for my vegetables in Waitrose tomorrow. I will also be working through a backlog of paperwork this afternoon rather than gardening.

I had youngest DGS for a couple of hours. We were going tone in the garden but rain stopped play.

Instead we did potato printing and collage using all sorts of bits & pieces.
Good fun.

Only inasmuch much as I couldn’t take the Gdcs to school today (I’m staying with them while dd is away for work) since it was absolutely chucking it down (Oxford). We usually walk (or rather I walk, they bike or scooter) but I don’t have child seats in my car so SiL had to take them.

Oddly enough, I’ve stayed many times while dd is away, and I don’t remember ever having to walk to or from school or pre school in the rain!
Still raining now, though marginally less heavy.

Raining here as well. Just cleaned one bedroom from top to bottom. I can relax now with a book.

I was with you right up to the word productively 🤣

It's pouring here so golf is cancelled. Hence why I'm lingering and commenting on Gransnet. I should be using the time to plan the exercises for a new U3A Writing for Pleasure Group I am leading starting in July. Anyone else had to change their plans because of the rain but are using the time productively unlike me?
