Not working  :'(

Giving me wet winters any day, can't rain all day everyday!

My 4th day off this week. Been painting but not used to being in all day everyday. So depressing.

I worked Monday afternoon and that was my lot.
Looking ahead, there may be a window of opportunity at the weekend buteven that may not happen.  Looks like a sustained temp above zero next week though.
Looks like the overdraft is going to come in handy this month.

Was out all day Monday, not been able to get out since as our estate is all but impassable. My next jobs are a few miles away from home, so I don't expect to be out again this week.
