on the plus side, the time I put into cleaning the gas fire this morning has resulted in a functioning gas fire. I am very happy about this as the living room is now less than subArctic.
On the plus side, i discovered I’ve got great, great neighbours. The copper pipe for the garden tap burst today courtesy of the continuing subzero temperatures. I use that tap to clean stuff like kite equipment during the summer; but it hadn’t been turned on for quite a while until it burst today.
Unlike gas fires and electronic equipment, plumbing is not something I even know where to start. My tool box consists of a Skipper Swiss army knife and that’s about it. Next door told me to try the guy next to them again; he might be able to help. He very kindly fixed it for me. I’m really grateful.
I’ve spent the evening doing crochet and watching Catalyst by Cabrinha Kites just to see what sunshine looks like. Currently it is snowing (again). The crochet is coming along. Technically I have just one pattern repeat to go for the main part of the cardigan I am making right now but as I tend to like these things a little longer, I will probably do two extra repeats. All going well then I will start at the sleeves tomorrow. I think I have an adequate supply of yarn for that as well, which is helpful.
I’ve lots of things I want to do and getting in the way is the weight of feeling that I don’t actually have time. I think part of this is cabin fever. Courtesy of the condition of the roads lately, I struggle home from work, once in the door I don’t have any desire to leave. This means I haven’t been climbing in about 3 weeks which is really starting to get on my nerves. As there’s about 4 inches of snow outside again, I can’t see this changing tomorrow.
