We've had a bit of weather this week round here. Not too drastic, but it disrupt travel somewhat. I had to stay over near work one night, and miss a family visit that would have taken me over the very high routes, but the heating and electricity stayed on throughout, thank goodness. It's been cold, but beautiful. Aside from a couple of snowy walks, we've mostly kept cosy inside. We've taken the opportunity of being stuck inside to get a few things done. We finally got round to rebuilding the bed, which has been dismantled since before Christmas, in need of new slats. I also dug out the seeds and started planning the veg patch, as far away as it feels from being able to plant anything right now. I finally started cleaning the dried on, splattered plaster from when the builders were here. They left over a year ago - I've cleaned the floor in that time of course (even I'm not that bad a housekeeper), but I'd never got down on my hands and knees with a scraper to chip off the rest. Not an exciting job, and one that will take several more hours I fear. I tried a couple of new recipes, and put a few meals into the freezer. I've started ferrying things upstairs into what will be the new craft room (eventually). In the process, I came across this half-made rug, started I think by my sister, many years ago. I'd always meant to finish it, and now I have just the place it will go, so I've dug out some old fabric and started cutting it into strips.
So not really an eventful weekend, but a little bit of progress was made. All you can hope for sometimes.
