I always seem to be talking about the weather just now.

And that's because there's such a lot of it. This morning when I woke up I noticed the beautiful clear blue skies. "Ahhh - a nice Alpine winter day" I mused, and hauled myself out of bed to see the ammeter run off the clock. But no sooner had I arisen then the clouds blew themselves back in again and that was that. I lose count of how many days we've had like that now.

So as it wasn't as cold as yesterday I spent the morning clearing out a pile of rubbish from Caliburn. If I wake up at anything like early I'll be off to Montlucon for a pile of shopping including a load of stuff from Brico Depot. There's tons of stuff that I need.

Once that was done (and still no satnav) I carried on emptying out the old roofing tiles from the bedroom. I've been up and down those steps like a yo-yo with probably 50 buckets or so and I reckon that another hour or so on Monday will see the job done. Once all of that is gone I can finish off the insulation and the plasterboarding instead of doing it bit by bit.

But that won't be tomorrow - I'm shopping!
