Plum Crazy!

They always say be careful what you wish for. Well I wished for a smattering of snow not a shed load. I just wanted that quiet snow day so as not to feel guilty for not doing the usual. But it hasn't quite worked out that way. I do feel guilty Big Time. While I was looking for something nice to do, I found UFO's (unfinished objects) I worried about these so much I couldn't settle to read from my stash of books, take a luxurious bath by candlelight or any of the things I wished for. The snow kept coming - extra free time - not on your life! I still worried about finding just the right project so I wouldn't waste the precious snow day. I had now wasted the whole day looking and worrying - I am definitely crazy. Not as crazy as my brother and sister in law, who got up in the middle of the night and, by the light of the snow, decided their bedroom door didn't match their others so went out into a snow blizzard at first light to B & Q for a tin of snow white paint. Lunacy obviously runs in our family and we don't 'do' free time.

  1. I only happened to mention that a door looked off white, and Tel was up at 7am - yes 7am to begin painting and has'nt stopped yet! Every door upstairs is now being 'dun ova' you know what it's like once you start, it shows up all the paint work that needs doing. Anyone else need any painting, it would give me a break!

  2. I've not touched snow in 20 years ...we get a little frost sometimes where I live in New Zealand and it gets cold but no snow where we live ... Don't miss it either :O)
